$6.56M for Infant Struck by Falling Sign

On Feb 1997, infant Alexander Arce was struck by a 30 inch Plexiglas sign at the Children’s Place in Quakerbridge Mall. Young Arce was left with fractures in his skull, damages to the left side of his brain and left him with comprehension and reading difficulties.

The Plaintiff argues that poor design and manufacturing deficiencies led the sign to fall. Judge McManimon approved the settlement between the store’s insurers and the sign manufacturer.
