A Union Pacific Railroad employee represented by DBJ received a $3.2 million jury verdict as a result of a fall from a crane ladder. Mark Larsen, 54, missed a rung on the ladder and fell twelve feet onto the train tracks, suffering neck and back injuries.

A Jackson County, Missouri jury awarded $30 million to DBJ-client Virgil McCormack, a carpenter, who received a 277-volt electric shock at a construction site when sub-contractor negligence led to the shock.
