Philadelphia Jury Awards $11 Million to Man Who Claimed SIG P320 Went Off By Itself

On Wednesday, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, jury awarded $11 million to George Abrahams, a Philadelphia painting contractor who said his SIG SAUER P320 “went off by itself” leaving him with permanent leg injuries. The verdict came after a three-week trial during which SIG attorneys argued Abrams was at fault and the P320 was safe. This is the second jury finding against SIG and the P320.  SIG officials say they will appeal the verdict, saying “We strongly disagree with the verdict in this unintended discharge lawsuit, have already moved for a mistrial, and will be appealing the decision on multiple grounds.”
