Jim Ughetta, along with local counsel
Mark Kircher of Quarles & Brady in Milwaukee, received
a unanimous decision in favor of our client from a three-arbitrator
panel in Wausau, Wisconsin, after hearing the testimony of
several witnesses and the arguments of counsel. Our client,
a helmet manufacturer, was sued by a woman who sustained multiple
facial fractures requiring three surgeries and the implantation
of four plates after a rock thrown by a snowmobile struck
her helmet’s face shield. The arbitrators accepted the
testimony of the defense expert that there was no defect in
the helmet’s design that was causally related to her
injuries. The case had been removed from the court system
to arbitration to save litigation expenses for our client.
