Court throws out punitive damages in crane collapse
A Wisconsin state appeals court has tossed out a $94 million punitive damage award to the families of three ironworkers killed when a crane collapsed during the construction of Milwaukee's Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.
The judges voted 2-1 that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of America did not intentionally cause the three deaths, nor was its conduct certain to cause injury, according to a report by The Associated Press.
