Phoenix man injured in Rocky Point, wins $5.9 mil. verdict - KTAR.com: "A Maricopa County Superior Court jury has awarded a Phoenix man $5.9 million for brain and back injuries he suffered while helping to build a church roof in Rocky Point, Mexico, in 2006.

According to the Phoenix Business Journal, Ronald Day was 37-years-old during the volunteer trip when the injury took place.

He and his wife Heather Day had their lawyers Larry Crown and Elan Mizrahi of Jennings Haug & Cunningham LLP file the lawsuit against the Central Christian Church and Amor Ministries.

Day stepped on a rafter board which broke, dropping him 10 feet and slamming his head and back into a concrete floor. He burst vertebrae and had frontal and temporal lobe brain damage.

Five of his vertebrae have since been fused together with surgical rods and the Days lost their business as a result of his inability to work, Crown said."
