Case overview:
El Sheikh v. Chem Tainer and SCC Pumps In this product liability case, we won a $3,500,000.00 settlement for 29 year-old Tim El Sheikh, a mechanic who was burned over 40% of his body when a portable oil transfer tank exploded. The tank, as manufactured by defendant, Chem Tainer, contained an improper spark-generating electric pump supplied by defendant, SCC Pumps. Unbelievably, the tank displayed no warnings, or writing of any kind, to inform mechanics that the tank was supposed to be used for motor oil only. As a result, Mr. El Sheikh had no reason to know that it was dangerous to use the tank to transfer diesel-contaminated gasoline that he had drained from a truck tank. Mr. El Sheikh’s burns were so severe that he was placed in a medically-induced coma to reduce his pain. The defendants only settled the case after we defeated their motion for summary judgment and the judge ruled that the case should go to trial. The judge’s decision was so significant that it was reported in the newspaper. We were able to place part of Mr. El Sheikh’s settlement in a tax free annuity so that, in addition to a lump sum payment, he will receive monthly tax free payments for the rest of his life. As is customary in our handling of cases of this magnitude, we consulted with several experts including: a retired professor of engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the foremost engineering school in the United States); a Professor of Economics; an occupational rehabilitation specialist; a clinical psychologist; and a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of burn victims.
