A jury on Tuesday, May 21 awarded more than $58 million to a Palmdale train yard worker who slipped and fell on top of a train while performing electrical repairs at the Kinkisharyo International train manufacturing yard in 2016.
The Los Angeles Superior Court panel’s total award to Pablo Scipione, now 46, was $58.35 million, which includes $54.15 million in compensatory damages and $4.2 million in punitive damages. Scipione at one time offered to settle for as little as $3 million.
