Description:

David R. Price sued Wilson Sport Goods on a products liability theory for the injuries and damages that he claimed that he sustained as a result of being struck in the head with a golf club made by Wilson that came apart during a swing. Price, age 48, and his son were playing golf at the Sunset Golf Course in Longmont. The wedge that his son was attempting to use came apart when his son swung it. Plaintiff claimed that the club was defectively manufactured and unreasonably dangerous because the shaft was too narrowly ground and improperly fastened to the head.

The defenses asserted by Wilson are not available.

Outcome: Plaintiff's verdict for $2 million.
