Half-head man wins £38million payout for brutal bouncer attack

A PAINTER and decorator who suffered horrendous brain damage has been awarded £38MILLION by a jury after he had his skull smashed in by a bouncer.

Antonio Lopez Chaj, 43, who was so badly beaten nearly a third of his head had to be removed.

Chaj had to be supported by relatives at the news conference on Monday when lawyers announced the award against a security company in Torrance Superior Court.

It is among the largest award in damages ever given to one person in California.

When Chaj took off the baseball cap he wore to hide the extent of his injuries, gasps were heard from inside the court.

Even this amount won't bring back all the man has lost. While doing our job, we must always do it with wisdom and restrain.
