Separate claims against Sig Sauer’s P320 semi-automatic pistol unintentionally firing have passed critical thresholds in federal courts over the last week as a Georgia plaintiff was awarded $2.35 million by a jury and a police officer in Puerto Rico survived the gun manufacturer’s motion for summary judgment.
In Georgia, Robert Lang sued Sig Sauer after he was seriously injured in 2018, when his holstered P320 handgun allegedly discharged without touching the trigger. On June 20, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia returned the $2.35 million verdict in Lang’s favor, finding the manufacturer liable for selling a defective pistol without a tabbed trigger for safety, along with negligent failure to warn.
