Marion County Jury Awards $10.2 Million in Jay Scoots Wrongful Death Case

No amount of money can bring back a loved one after a tragic death.  Nevertheless, juries have the task of placing a monetary value on the loss of life caused by wrongful acts of others.  The awards they make help us place values on other claims.

A Marion County jury has recently awarded $10.2 million to the widow of a construction worker killed on the job while working on a road project on I-465.  Jay Scoots, 30, had fallen off the back of a moving flatbed trailer while part of a crew that was moving traffic-control signs.  The victim's employer had previouslty been fined by IOSHA for failing to provide safety training and for allowing the sign crew to ride in the back of an opent trailer.

While it is true that not every claimant should expect an award this large, the verdict does indicate that some juries are going to take the loss of life caused by a negligent acts of others very seriously.
