Didn't his job take care of the medical bills? If he's putting his life on the line he should have the benefits to cover him if that life is threatened and medical care is needed. What about Workman's comp? I realize he may have suffered pain from this. I don't know what his career looks like after his injuries. If he's still able to work he shouldn't need any extra money.
I realize he trusted the gun company. I would like to see where the gun was struck. If hit in the right place you could disable any gun but it would all depend on where. If it got hit on the bottom of the handle for example and then would not fire I could understand his lawsuit. If it was hit in a more important place I wouldn't know. I'm sure it will come out in the wash. If the gun company can't prove that the gun's firing mechanism was damaged then I think it would be right for them to compensate the man somewhat. There really is so little that we know about the gun and specifics of the situation.
