Bird Incorporated Memo To: r . Maloof/ D. Suva/ W. Kinsey Subject: "HARDY DOTSON - SHREVEPORT" "W.C.. CLAIM" From: Date: w. F. McGonagle August 9, 1984 Some Good News! A jury recently returned a verdict in favor of Hardy Dotson in his suit against Clark Equipment Company. Futhermore, the judge recognized the right of Employer's of Wausau to recoup $286,000.00 plus interest. Bird should be a winner in this decision, since we have a $150,000.00 deductible for each W. C. Claim. Hardy Dotson was injured when he was hit on the head by a roll of felt. He is almost completely paralyzed from the neck down. Hardy's lawyers claimed a design fault in the Clark Fork Lift.
