Defendant Bobcat Company1 appeals from a judgment entered by the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on a jury verdict finding Bobcat fully liable for injuries sustained by Thomas Altman in an accident involving a Bobcat Model 709 backhoe attachment. Following a seven-day trial, the jury found Bobcat’s negligence to be the sole cause of Altman’s injuries and awarded $2,991,337.00 in damages to Plaintiffs Thomas and Roxana Altman. The District Court denied Bobcat’s motion for a new trial, and this appeal followed.
