I wonder if Woodmizer settled the suit filed in the 90's
QuotedThree-year-old plaintiff Lorena Davis was injured when she wandered off her grandparents’ porch to a portable sawmill and put her hand in the sprocket gear of the sawmill. Through her guardian ad litem, plaintiff brought suit against Wood-Mizer Products, Inc., the manufacturer of the sawmill, for defective design, and against her grandparents, Glenn H. and Dorothie Davis, for negligent supervision. These defendants filed cross-complaints for indemnity against each other. Before trial, the grandparents’ homeowners’ insurance carrier settled with plaintiff for $300,000 and assignment of the cross-complaint for indemnity against Wood-Mizer. The jury found for plaintiff and awarded damages of $420,100. It apportioned liability 99 percent to Wood-Mizer and 1 percent to Dorothie Davis. The court entered judgment of $415,899 against Wood-Mizer (99 percent of $420,100).
