Mom Sued By Son Over Finger

Nancy Garrity of Wayne, NJ won't be awarded "Mother of the year" ever! John Garrity, Nancy's son, was using a miter saw in her garage as she tapped him on the shoulder. As John turned his head, he lost control of the saw and his pinky finger was in a pile of sawdust on the floor.

A jury ruled in favor of John after his mother admitted "her actions caused the incident and her son injuries." The court awarded John $20,000 in medical expenses and an additional $95,500 for pain, suffering and undisclosed damages.
