The defense is appealing a $608,000 verdict for a driver who hurt his knee while swerving to dodge pipes falling from a flatbed truck onto an interstate in Newton County.
The plaintiff, Edward Stepien of Orlando, contended the knee injury eventually forced him to give up working as an insurance adjuster because he could no longer climb ladders to inspect roofs for wind and storm damage, a job for which he earned more than $12,000 a month, according to his attorney, James Carter of Carter Cromwell Law Group. Stepien also had to give up golfing and boating because of the injury, Carter said.
