Oh goodness!!! See that Skull, zoom the photo to have a good view, imagine one's skull removed and still with life. Imagine if all human's head were just like the above photo, Na die, Choi! lol!
A California jury has awarded 43-year-old Antonio Lopez Chaj $58 million as compensation for his horrific injuries.
Chaj was left deformed and brain damaged after a security guard bashed in his skull, leaving him unconscious, in April 2010 during a bar fight at La Barra Latina in Torrance. Doctors were forced to remove part of his skull and brain.
“His skull is like a pie with 25 percent cut out of it,” Attorney Federico Sayre said at a news conference Monday.
He is no longer capable of speaking, needs assistance walking and requires 24-hour care to survive. After attempting to break up a fight between a bartender, a security guard and two of his relatives, the unlicensed guard who worked for DGSP Security and Patrol Service beat Chaj with a baton, smashed his skull against the pavement and kicked him in the head eight times.
“It was truly a horrendous and brutal beating by a guy who shouldn’t have been working at all,” said Sayre, who represented Chaj along with Fernando Chavez, the son of famed civil rights leader Cesar Chavez.
Lawyers for the plaintiff said that this damage award is the largest ever given to a single person in the state of California. The damage award against the security firm will compensate for Chaj’s future medical expenses, future pain and suffering and past pain and suffering.
During the recent news conference, where Chaj was supported by his relatives, those in the audience gasped as he took off his baseball cap; shocked by his appearance.
Unfortunately, the guard and the bartender who started the fight disappeared before the civil trial and have not been charged. Police assert that there weren’t enough independent witnesses to charge them.
