From Times Wire Reports
The family of a 12-year-old boy who was electrocuted at a bus stop shelter in Miami was awarded $65.1 million in a civil trial against the outdoor advertising company that built and wired the structure.
A jury decided that Eller Media Co. must pay $4.1 million in compensatory damages and $61 million in punitive damages in the 1998 death of Jorge Luis Cabrera.
Phoenix-based Eller Media’s parent company is Clear Channel Communications Inc., the nation’s largest radio broadcaster.
