Case Details
A Missouri college student was hit by a van while walking, suffering severe personal injury including brain trauma, a collapsed lung, and several broken bones. A judge awarded the individual $19 million for a claim against the college that owns the road where the collision took place, citing inadequate lighting and lack of sidewalks as causal factors.
Additional Notes
The college plans to appeal the decision, asserting that the plaintiff did not provide sufficient evidence regarding inadequate lighting on the road. The student's injuries were said to be so severe that his life has been forever changed.
