Case Details

Largest verdict ever in Orlando, FL. A record-setting $100 million verdict on behalf of a teen who suffered severe brain damage and has remained in a coma since 2012. The damages award includes payments for past and future medical care, punitive damages, pain, and suffering for the teen, as well as emotional distress and loss of companionship for her mother, Alma Fletcher. Danielle Sampson, then 15 years old, was riding along in the back of the family’s mini-van in July 2012, when she was struck in the head by a stray bullet fired by Tyrone Mosby, 22, a reputed gang member fleeing a home invasion. The bullet still remains lodged in her skull, along with fragments in her brain.

Additional Notes

Largest verdict ever in Orlando, FL. Judgement entered. Pending collection. Verdict sends a powerful message to criminals and gang members, that they will be held responsible - not only criminally, but civilly - for their actions. Mosby was found guilty on seven counts, including attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, sentencing him to 30 years in jail.
