The owner of a South Georgia farm and fertilizer company who failed to follow through on his pledge to pay $10,000 to a man whose foot was crushed when a tree fell on it was hit with a $3.5 million judgment in Coffee County Tuesday.
The judgment entered by Superior Court Judge J. Kelly Brooks came after the defendants, who never responded to the complaint, were declared in default earlier this year. It included more than $1 million for the Oliver Maner lawyers handling the case, partners Patrick O’Connor and Patricia Paul and associate Stuart Sumner, as well as $250,000 in punitive damages.
