The stunning $32.1 million jury verdict a steelworker and his wife won last December remains unscathed after a fierce round of post-verdict motions. An employee of subcontractor Berlin Steel, Norman Pelletier broke his spine when a two-ton girder fell on him at a construction site. Pelletier's case could have wide ramifications for the construction industry, because the Connecticut Supreme Court reversed itself in finding that Pelletier could recover from the general contractor in addition to his employer.

The stunning $32.1 million jury verdict steelworker Norman Pelletier and his wife won last December remains unscathed after a fierce round of post-verdict motions.
An employee of subcontractor Berlin Steel, Pelletier’s spine was broken when a two-ton girder fell on him, due to a weak, unnoticed temporary weld at a Pitney Bowes building under construction in Shelton, Conn. With over $8 million in offer-of-judgment interest, his potential award is now up to $41 million.
