Chicago Legal Team Taxman, Pollock, Murray & Bekkerman, LLC Obtains Multi-Million Dollar Award for Client Injured by Dangerous Wet Cement
Taxman, Pollock, Murray & Bekkerman, LLC is pleased to announce that Partner Sean P. Murray and Associate William E. Parrish have successfully obtained a substantial jury verdict on behalf of their client who suffered severe injuries from exposure to wet concrete during a home improvement project.

The jury awarded $9,000,000 in compensatory damages, which was reduced to $5,850,000 after comparative fault was applied. The verdict represents a remarkable outcome that was 180 times greater than the defendant's pre-trial settlement offer of $50,000.

Case Background

The plaintiff sustained life-altering injuries after kneeling and working in wet cement during a do-it-yourself project at his residence. Unaware of the extreme dangers posed by wet concrete, the plaintiff suffered significant chemical burns that penetrated through muscle and tissue down to the bone when the caustic material came into contact with his skin and clothing.

The defendant, Ozinga Ready Mix Concrete, Inc., was found liable for supplying the concrete to the plaintiff's home without providing adequate warnings about the serious health hazards associated with wet cement exposure. Despite being well aware of these dangers, the company failed to properly inform the consumer of the risks.

Swift Justice

The jury reached their decision in under two hours, demonstrating the clear nature of the defendant's liability and the severity of the plaintiff's injuries.

"This case highlights the critical importance of proper safety warnings when dealing with hazardous materials," said Partner Sean P. Murray. "Companies have a responsibility to inform consumers about the serious dangers their products can pose, especially when those dangers may not be immediately apparent to the average person."
