A federal judge in Massachusetts this week awarded an attorney a reduced total of $3.3 million for injuries he suffered from a snowmobile crash with a U.S. Army helicopter that was parked on an active trail in 2019.
Following a bench trial and the parties’ proposed finding of facts and conclusions of law, U.S. District Judge Mark G. Mastroianni of the District of Massachusetts Monday issued a decision in the case captioned Smith v. United States regarding federal tort claims stemming from the March 2019 crash. Mastroianni found the government 60% at fault for leaving the camouflaged helicopter parked on an active snowmobile trail without warning, while the Westfield, Massachusetts, attorney, Jeffrey Smith, was found to be 40% responsible for failing to drive the snowmobile in a safe manner.
