A Connecticut jury rejected a woman's $127,000 lawsuit against her 12-year-old nephew, who she argued should be held accountable for giving her an enthusiastic hug that caused her physical injuries.

After just 25 minutes, the six-panel jury decided not to reward Jennifer Connell, 54, of New York City, for the injuries she sustained after her nephew, Sean Tarala, gave her a big hug at his 8th birthday party four years ago.

"We just couldn't find him, you know, liable for what happened," an unnamed juror told New York Daily News.

Connell argued that the boy acted unreasonably when he leaped into her arms at his birthday party, which was held in Westport in March 2011. Connell said the greeting caused her to fall and break her wrist as she tried to catch him.

"I remember him shouting, 'Auntie Jen, I love you,' and there he was flying at me," she testified in court on Tuesday.

The plaintiff also argued she was still suffering from the 2011 injury.

"I live in Manhattan in a third-floor walk-up so it has been very difficult, and we all know how crowded it is in Manhattan," Connell told the court, according to the Connecticut Post, adding that she "was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d'oeuvre plate."

According to the suit, the human resources manager, said she "incurred expenses for hospitalization, medical care and attention, x-rays, pharmaceuticals, etc." It also says Connell "suffered and will continue to suffer pain and mental anguish" due to the "forceful greeting."

Following the verdict, Connell's legal team issued a statement explaining why Connell chose to sue the child.

"This was a case was about one thing: getting medical bills paid by homeowner's insurance. Our client was never looking for money from her nephew or his family. It was about the insurance industry and being forced to sue to get medical bills paid. She suffered a horrific injury. She had two surgeries and is potentially facing a third. Prior to the trial, the insurance company offered her one dollar," the law firm representing Connell, Jainchill and Beckert, told NBC Connecticut in a statement Tuesday.

"Our client was very reluctant to pursue this case, but in the end she had no choice but to sue the minor defendant directly to get her bills paid," the statement continues.

Meanwhile, the boy left the courtroom as the winner of the case with his father, Michael Tarala. Sean's mother died in 2014.
