Man Recieves $2.85 Mil. After Being Tased
A stun-gun manufacturer has agreed to a $2.85 million settlement with a California man who suffered brain damage after being tased four years ago. The man was shocked by a Watsonvile, Calif., police officer in 2006 after refusing to exit a bus. The suit says the man went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing for 18 minutes after being tased. He suffered severe brain damage, and now requires around-the-clock care, the suit claims. The settlement money will go toward the man’s past and future medical costs.
