Berry Electric Contracting Co.

On September 27, 2005, Don Svec, an employee of Berry Electric, was lost and using his BlackBerry's navigation device to try to find his destination. Svec ran a red light and crashed into 70-year-old Dorothy Barnes. She was taken to Lutheran General Hospital, where she underwent five surgeries, including two on her neck. Barnes has metal sticking out of her pelvis to hold it together and has permanent vision problems. Barnes filed a personal injury lawsuit against Berry Electric in Cook County Circuit Court. Berry Electric has agreed to pay her a $4.1 million settlement covered by its insurance company. (Dec-09-06) [CHICAGO SUN TIMES: BLACKBERRY ACCIDENT]
