NY Prisoner Awarded $6,800 After Dough Rolling Accident
A New York prisoner who suffered digital nerve damage to his middle finger when his hand was caught in a dough-rolling machine was awarded $6,800.
In November 1993, a 29-year-old New York prisoner got his hand caught in a dough-rolling machine in the prison bakery. He suffered digital nerve damage to his middle finger.
He filed suit in state court alleging prison officials negligently cased his injury. In April, 1997, he was awarded damages of $8,500, but the court found that he was 20 percent at fault and reduced the award to $6,800. See: Feliciano v. New York, Ny Ct Claims, Case No. 88582.
