A $38 million injury verdict is in limbo after the court reporter and trial transcript go missing
Bruce Vielmetti, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
After a Racine County jury returned a $38.1 million verdict against Hyundai Motors Co. last year, no one was surprised the Korean automaker planned to appeal.
But no one expected that, nearly a year later, that appeal would remain on hold because of a missing person the court reporter responsible for providing a transcript of the trial.
"Of all the things you consider that might go wrong, the one you never thought about was the disappearance of the court reporter before certifying the transcript," said Timothy Trecek, the Habush, Habush & Rottier attorney who represented the plaintiff in the trial that ended in February 2020.
