Baez v. L & L Machinery
Plaintiff Arturo Baez suffered a spinal injury, rendering him a quadriplegic and dependent on a ventilator. Baez and his wife, Teresa Baez, sued defendant L&L Machinery, Inc., the manufacturer of the industrial gluing press involved in the accident, and other defendants for negligence, products liability and loss of consortium. A jury found in favor of defendant L&L and plaintiffs appeal. Plaintiffs main contentions are the trial court erred by allowing defense testimony about the absence of previous accidents and that insufficient evidence supports the jurys special finding that the press in 2004 was not in substantially the same condition as when it left the factory in 1984. We conclude the evidence was properly admitted and the judgment was amply supported by the evidence. Court affirm.
