He lost part of both feet and incurred over $600,000 in past medical bills, and had a life care plan of $3 Milion dollars. Both the NESC as well as SC statute required protective devices designed to promptly de-energize downed lines. The jury was also given a spoliation charged based on the power company's failure to preserve fuses to prove its defense that they were properly sized. The jury returned a verdict of $4.4 Million dollars. During jury deliberations the parties negotiated a confidential high low agreement which settled the case upon the rendering of the verdict. March 2011. The verdict was the highest negligence based personal injury verdict in South Carolina for the year 2011, according to S.C. Lawyers Weekly,, 2011
