A Sears technician miswired Jacqueline Gebert's electric stove in January 2019, and she was electrocuted while lifting a pan. An Arapahoe County jury found Sears negligent and awarded $2,700,000, made up of $2,000,000 in noneconomic damages and $700,000 for physical impairment. The court cut the noneconomic part to the $468,010 statutory limit, so $1,168,010 stood. The Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed in 2023 and upheld the cap against a Seventh Amendment challenge.
