Boys Electrocuted Climbing A Tree, $1.12 Million Settlement

Settlement/Verdict: $1,120,000.00

Attorney: Paul F. Schweiger
Practice Area: Premises Liability
Client Injury: Severed Arm, Damaged hand

Two brothers, 11 and 14, were electrocuted when they both touched a power line running near the Norway pine they were climbing. The shock severed part of one boy's arm and permanently damaged the other boy's hand. In view of the well-known tendency for children to climb trees, Paul Schweiger successfully brought suit against the power company for not removing the tree before the accident. He settled the case for $1.12 Million ($1.8 Million Structured Annuity)
