Jury Awards $11 Million in Sig Sauer Case

A Philadelphia jury awarded $11 million to U.S. Army veteran George Abrahams after he was severely injured by his Sig Sauer P320 pistol, which discharged while holstered without any trigger pull. This ruling marks the second significant verdict against Sig Sauer in 2024 regarding alleged design flaws of the P320, which has led to numerous injuries across the country. The jury found Sig Sauer negligent for selling a defective firearm and concluded that the company showed reckless indifference to the safety of others. Abrahams' legal team stated that over 100 similar claims have been filed against the manufacturer, who maintains that the P320 is safe and plans to appeal the verdict. The plaintiff's attorney emphasized the need for Sig Sauer to implement better safety measures akin to those used by other manufacturers. The company previously faced a $2.35 million judgment in Georgia for a similar incident involving the same model pistol.
