$14.6M Settlement In Trampoline Injury
17 years later a 30 year old man finally got his fair share in a settlement; $14.6 Million. The 13 year old was injured on a a trampoline which left the youngster a quadriplegic. A settlement was reached this past Thursday in a Chicago court.
The $14.6 million settlement was reached after 17 years of litigation and multiple court hearings, including two separate Illinois Supreme Court opinions.
The suit is really not fair based on the principle that the boy simply should of been more careful. If the trampoline were an ineffective product others would have been injured or the settlement would not have taken 17 years to process.
