A court in the United States has awarded massive compensation to a man who was severely injured in a park accident in Sacramento, California. Michael Flynn was jogging in McKinley Park when a dried tree branch broke and fell on him, causing severe brain and neurological injuries.
The court jury held the Sacramento municipal authority fully responsible for negligence in maintaining trees and conducting regular safety inspections in the park. The court ordered the city municipality to pay 33.3 million dollars (approximately Rs 277 crore) in compensation to the victim to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and future losses.
Despite suffering critical injuries during the incident, Flynn underwent long-term medical treatment and successfully completed his PhD in Physics. He is now advocating for the safety of public infrastructure.
