A worker whose arm was partially amputated by a piece of heavy machinery at a metal fabrication plant has agreed to settle his products liability claims against five companies for $5 million.

Ryan Boylan, who was 37 at the time of his injury, entered into a settlement agreement with the design and manufacturing companies Jan. 9 following mediation before retired Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Annette Rizzo. According to Alan Feldman of Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock Dodig, who represented the plaintiffs along with attorneys Daniel Mann and Edward Goldis, the defendants did not disclose how much each defendant contributed to the settlement, but the accord included the waiver of a more than $555,000 workers’ compensation lien.
