Faulty pool slide brings punitive damages award

A woman who went to a relative's house for a swim was left a quadriplegic and later died when a slide at the pool collapsed and she broke her neck. A Massachusetts jury recently awarded one of the largest verdicts in the state in recent years when it handed down a $20.6 million -- including both compensatory and punitive damages -- to the family of Robin Aleo, who had been visiting from Colorado.
