$33.8M Verdict for Fall Through Defective Skylight

Mark A. Haney

Mark A. Haney is a member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Attorneys.

A Texas jury awarded $33.8 million to a workman who fell through a defectively designed skylight that was too weak to support foreseeable human loads.

Plaintiff Steven Landers fell through the skylight and suffered a broken leg, arm, ribs, punctured lung, and back injury. He required amputation of the lower right leg after months attempting to save the leg, and had a 5-level back fusion to repair his back.

Attorneys Mark Haney of Puls Haney Kaiser, PLLC and Pat Gallagher of Haslam & Gallagher, P.C., both in Fort Worth, Texas, recovered the damages after a 10-day trial.

The case is Steven Landers v. Wasco Products, Inc., 48th District Court, Tarrant County, Texas. Hon. David Evans presiding.
