A Philadelphia jury has awarded $10.6 million to a woman whose arm was amputated in a motor vehicle accident.
The jury awarded the money as compensatory damages last week in the case Brown v. Silvi Concrete Products after eight months of trial before Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Lisa Rau. The case had been set for punitive damages, but the parties reached confidential settlements before those claims were argued before the jury.
According to attorneys who represented plaintiff Shanika Brown, delay damages increased the verdict to $11.7 million.
