Connecticut Jury Awards $3.4 Million to Man Who Shot Himself With A Nail Gun
After eight hours of deliberations, a jury in Hartford, CT awarded $3.4 million to a 51-year-old carpenter who sustained injuries after he shot a nail gun into metal and it bounced back embedding itself in his brain.
According to a dispatch from The Associated Press, dated December 8, the jury concluded that while the injured man was 55% responsible for his own injuries, the maker of the nail gun and the retailer who sold it were also liable.
The carpenter was hurt in February 2003.
