The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has reinstated a $2.1 million jury award that mistakenly included compensation for future wage loss, finding that the defendant waived its right to challenge the verdict by failing to object at several intervals during trial.

The court ruled 5-2 in Stapas v. Giant Eagle to reverse a Superior Court decision that tossed out the verdict for plaintiff John Stapas, who was disabled as a result of a shooting outside a GetGo convenience store, and granted a new trial on damages to Giant Eagle, corporate owner of the GetGo chain.
