The plaintiffs lawyer behind a recent $2.3 million premises liability verdict said he plans to use the case to challenge Pennsylvania’s cap on damages against state agencies.
The jury’s seven-figure award was against the Philadelphia Housing Authority, so it is subject to a $250,000 limit on what a single plaintiff can collect against the state. But Leonard Hill of Hill & Associates said the cap is due for an adjustment.
