A bicyclist injured after hitting a pothole during a charity bike ride has won a more than $3 million verdict against Philadelphia and the event’s organizer, despite having initially signed a waiver.
The jury deliberating in Degliomini v. City of Philadelphia awarded plaintiff Anthony Degliomini and his wife, Karen Degliomini, nearly $3.19 million after an eight-day trial in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Frederica Massiah-Jackson’s courtroom. The jury found 90 percent liability against Philadelphia and 10 percent liability against the event organizer, ESM Productions, and awarded more than $1.4 million in future lost wages and earning capacity.
