Proven verdicts and settlements

$300,000 judgment (25 percent of a $1,200,000 noneconomic verdict after 75 percent comparative fault, affirmed)Verdict

Paul Grosz was standing on homemade scaffolding, helping his friend Gregory Kisling hang a crucifix above a staircase in Kisling's home, when the wire holding the crucifix broke. He fell and suffered broken ribs, a spinal fracture and a traumatic brain injury. A jury put his noneconomic damages at $1,200,000, twice what he asked for, but found him 75 percent at fault. The fight that followed was over arithmetic: apply Alaska's $400,000 cap first, or the fault split first. In March 2025 the Alaska Supreme Court held fault comes first, which left a $300,000 judgment.
