Gets Big Award for Injuries.
For the loss of two fingers and a thumb, Michael Wizloski, an employee of the Eastern Steel Company, in Pottsville, Pa., was awarded $10,043.93 by a jury. This is one of the largest verdicts ever given for an injury not attended by fatal results.
The jury, in its verdict, censured the company for negligence in not properly protecting the machinery which caused Wizloski’s injury.
