Proven verdicts and settlements
A Philadelphia jury awarded $24.8 million to Sean Kalinowski, a roofer who suffered a traumatic brain injury and partial blindness after falling more than 20 feet through an unguarded skylight at an Aston, Pennsylvania auto body shop in June 2016. The jury found the tenant, ABRA Auto Body & Glass, 60 percent at fault, the building's owner, 2626 Market LLC, 30 percent at fault, and Kalinowski 10 percent contributorily negligent. A post-trial order applying Pennsylvania's joint and several liability rule and a pre-verdict high-low agreement directed ABRA to pay $19.36 million and 2626 Market to pay $3 million, a combined $22.36 million. ABRA's carrier paid only part of that amount and the defendants filed an appeal despite having waived that right, and no public record confirms how the dispute was finally resolved.
