FAULTY PRODUCT COSTS RAYMOND DEALER US$880,000
San Diego, United States
Tuesday, 12 Sep 2000
SAN DIEGO, USA -- The US Superior Court has awarded an order-picker operator US$880,000 for injuries he sustained from an electric shock while using a Raymond order picker.
Larry Cundieff, 53, was operating the machine when he received a severe electric shock that ruptured a tendon and caused permanent injury to his left arm, the court was told.
"He has since undergone several (operations), but still suffers permanent loss of strength and mobility in his arm. He has been unable to return to work," lawyer Michael Montgomery said.
Raymond distributor Santa Fe Springs-based WT Billard Inc, denied responsibility for Cundieff's injury.
"Repairmen for WT Billard admitted finding a bare wire, but later denied there was anything wrong with the machine," Mr Montgomery said.
