​A Cook County jury awarded a verdict of $2.29 million to a 35-year old construction laborer who was struck in the head and face by a steel lifting loop that broke free from a precast concrete flat top lid for a sewer basin while being lifted. 

​
On March 27, 2012, the plaintiff was working at a construction site near the Holy Name Cathedral on the corner of Wabash and Superior in Chicago, Illinois.  The 6-foot diameter, 4,280-pound precast concrete product and its three steel lifting loops were designed and manufactured by Welch Bros., Inc. of Elgin, Illinois.  As the flat top was lifted just a few inches off the ground, one of the three lifting loops snapped off and struck the plaintiff in the head and face.
