A Baltimore jury awarded $7.1 million to a tugboat deckhand whose jaw was broken five years ago when the tension from a misplaced mooring rope loosed a steel stanchion from its base and catapulted it toward his face.
William J. McCoy III was adjusting a separate line from his tug to its load, a scow filled with mud dredged from the Tolchester Channel in the Northern Chesapeake Bay, on the evening of Nov. 1, 2003 when the four-foot, 20-pound bar unexpectedly came “flying like a missile through the air,” said his attorney, Robert M. Schwartzman. www.mddailyrecord.com/article.cfm?id=9142&type=UTTM
