Outcome
Plaintiff Harrington prevailed on his maritime negligence claim against Exxon Mobil, with a jury verdict of $1.5 million in compensatory damages (reduced to $1.35 million after 10% comparative fault). The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, rejecting Exxon's argument that the trial court erred in excluding evidence of workers' compensation payments under the collateral source rule.
