What happened
A warehouse worker is asking the Connecticut Supreme Court to review a June 2 Appellate Court decision that overturned a $100 million jury verdict against Signify North America Corp. The original verdict was related to the worker being paralyzed on the job after an accident. The dispute centers on whether Signify could have reasonably anticipated injury from shipping an unsecured load of lights. The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.
