DECATUR, Ill. (AP) - A central Illinois jury has decided Archer Daniels Midland Co. should pay the family of a 26-year-old man $6.74 million after he died at 1 of the agribusiness company's plants in 2007.

The judgment in the March 24, 2007, death of Francisco Moreno Garcia was entered Friday in Macon County Court in Decatur. The Cook County Jury Verdict Reporter tracks legal decisions and says the judgment is the largest ever entered in Macon County.

Chicago attorney Donald Shapiro represented Garcia's family.

Shapiro says Garcia worked for a St. Louis company and was insulating pipes at an ADM facility when he was sprayed with steam and hot water. Garcia was burned over 90% of his body.

Decatur-based ADM says it is reviewing the jury's decision.
