John Chandler served as local counsel in a federal class action case in which a $17.5 million dollar settlement was obtained.
On September 15, 2013, the plaintiff, a machine operator and material handler at Unique Fabricating South in LaFayette, Georgia, suffered an amputation of his dominant left hand and part of his forearm, while operating a Bruno FH150 Press. Unique Fabricating manufactures parts for the automotive industry. The Bruno press was used to create pieces of acoustical material and die cut foam rubber, and was configured to cut a number of small pieces each time the press operated, like a large repetitive cookie cutter. The plaintiff, while reaching past the swing gate to get parts off the belt as usual, slipped, slightly losing his footing on the stool was required to use, causing his left hand to get caught in the pinch point under the dye as it was coming down again. He had been operating the press exactly as he was trained to do, in a safe and customary manner, but the press did not have any type of guard at the discharge side of the press.
On September 7, 2012, in Hamilton County Circuit Court (Tennessee), a jury returned a verdict of $3,500,000 for Marcus Black, who sustained a severe head injury when his motorcycle struck the rear of the vehicle ahead of him on one of the bridges in Chattanooga. The chain reaction was triggered by a texting driver in the traffic ahead of Mr. Black. The texting driver drove off, so her identity was unknown and she was never located. Suit was filed against Mr. Black’s uninsured motorist insurer. Eyewitnesses testified concerning the actions of the unidentified Jane Doe driver, and the jury found Jane Doe 75% at fault for the wreck, while allocating 25% fault to Mr. Black. Damages were reduced to $2,625,000 under Tennessee’s comparative fault rules and judgment was entered accordingly.
