After a three-week trial, the jury concluded that New Hampshire-based Sig Sauer was negligent for selling a defective gun and holster. This decision underscores accountability for manufacturers when their products lead to injury.
Robert W. Zimmerman, the plaintiff's lawyer, emphasized that the verdict sends a strong message to Sig Sauer. He has urged the company for over three years to recall this gun and implement necessary safety features to protect consumers.
Sig Sauer sought to shift blame to the plaintiff, arguing that jurors agreed that his own negligence contributed to the accident. They defended their P320 model, claiming it is one of the most tested and proven handguns in recent history.
In the context of legal action involving the P320, this $11 million verdict follows an earlier $2.35 million award, establishing a troubling pattern of litigation against Sig Sauer regarding this firearm model.
