A Waterbury Superior Court jury has awarded a 49-year-old Wolcott man $1.4 million for injuries he suffered after falling nearly 15 feet from a ladder while attempting to repair an icy roof in February 2014.

The six-person jury deliberated for about two hours on April 12 before rendering its verdict in favor of Thomas R. Ciarlo. The jury, comprised of four women and two men, did find that Ciarlo, who shattered both legs, was 30 percent responsible for the fall, which resulted in the verdict being reduced to $977,802.
