MS Supreme Court Upholds $3.76 Million Dollar Workers' Compensation Award

The Mississippi Supreme Court upheld a damage award of $3.76 million against a furniture manufacturer. The suit was filed by employees of the furniture company who claimed that they were forced to use a hazardous glue that caused them injury.

Specifically, the suit claimed that the furniture company ignored warnings and complaints by the employees. Moreover, the company did not provide proper ventilation while the glue was being used.

The attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that the egregious conduct of the furniture company was so extreme as to require the court to hear the case rather than the Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission.

The Mississippi Supreme Court agreed with the plaintiffs and the verdict is allowed to stand.
