Proven verdicts and settlements
George Abrahams, a U.S. Army veteran and painting contractor, was shot in the right thigh in June 2020 when his holstered SIG Sauer P320 fired. In November 2024 a Philadelphia jury found the pistol defectively designed and the company negligent in selling it, and awarded $1 million in compensatory and $10 million in punitive damages. In June 2025 the trial judge struck the punitive award, leaving the $1 million compensatory verdict and the defect finding in place.
