This case takes place in Maine and involves a man who suffered injuries while performing his job duties. As a result of lifting heavy equipment, he suffered a severe testicular torsion. The man subsequently lost the injured testicle, and his fertility is now in jeopardy. The defense claims that the man, throughout his life, had a condition known as “clapper bell deformity.” The plaintiffs position is that the torsion was caused by the physical exertion in the lifting of heavy equipment.
