Man Stabbed at Local Restaurant Awarded $4.3 Million
The jury award, however, will probably never be fully collected.
A New Haven Superior Court jury has issued a $4.3 million award to a New Hampshire man who got stabbed at the U.S.S. Chowder Pot III Restaurant in 2010.
But Monte Freire, 45, of Nashua, will probably only collect $1 million of that money because that’s what the restaurant’s insurance coverage was at the time, the Hartford Courant reports.
Freire sued the Chowder Pot in Branford after he was stabbed by another patron there in October of 2010. He said he suffered permanent damage after being attacked by John Mayor, 47, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison following the incident, the Courant reports.
