    Woman gets $1M after car's hatchback lid collapsed on her head

    A jury awarded $1 million to a woman who was injured when the trunk hatch lid on her Subaru Outback collapsed on her head. Tammi Grumski, then 37, was pulling a bag of groceries from the rear of her car when the hatch lid fell, resulting in a head injury and cognitive deficits. She claimed that Suburban Buick Subaru in Pittsburgh negligently repaired the lid a week before the accident. Defense counsel conceded liability, but disputed the extent of her injuries. Grumski now has to wear prism glasses because of a vision impairment that made it difficult for her left eye to transition from focusing on objects at different distances. She claimed that she'll have to retire from her nursing job as she gets older due to the cognitive impairments.

    Grumski v. Jones, Palmeiri & Saldutte Inc.
