According to the Great Falls Tribune, a Melsone, Montana man who claims to have received a brain injury when working at a Yellowstone County rodeo has received a $230,000 settlement. The plaintiff allegedly was injured by a swinging gate when the gate's latch system failed to keep it closed. His lawsuit originally sought $3.2 million from the county and from the venue where the rodeo was held. The Great Falls Tribune reports that the settlement was reached following court ordered mediation. The lawsuit had been scheduled to go to trial this week.
