Lipsky Verdict Largest of Kind
Jury Awards $5353.33 in Personal Injury Suit in Circuit Court
A verdict of $353.33, the largest ever given by local courts in a personal injury damage suit, was returned by the jury in circuit court Tuesday in favor of Ignatz Lipsky in the $10,000 action against the C. Reiss Coal Co., the jury having been out two hours. Though the Reiss coal Co. was named as defendant, the action was in reality defended by Casualty Companies, which carried the risks of the coal company. An appear to the supreme court is probable in the case.
Seven questions were submitted by the court in the verdict, which was a special one and the jury decided for the plaintiff on all, holding that there was a defect in the dock structure which made it unsafe, that the company was negligent in not making repairs and had not exercised ordinary care and vigilance in protecting its employees, that the defect was such as to be liable to cause injury. The jury decided that the company was not aware of the defect though it should have been and said that Lipsky was not to blame for the accident.
Lipsky was employed by the Reiss Co. in 1905 and was at work on the old Central docks in November that year. A brace to one of the supports of the dock gave way and the heavy timber struck Lipsky, inflicting an injury to the spine which it is claimed is permanent and incapacitates the man for work. The trail of the case occupied three days and was stubbornly contested. E. P. Vilas, Milwaukee, appeared for the defense and A.J. Schmitz, the same city for Lipsky.
