Case Details
Client was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a drunk driver, and he suffered catastrophic injuries including the complete loss of vision in his left eye, broken bones in his face and jaw (which had to be completely reconstructed), a fractured hip and ankle, loss of his spleen, a collapsed lung, a traumatic brain injury, and was in a coma for 3 weeks, was hospitalized for two months and stayed in a rehab facility for 8 months to re-learn how to walk and talk.
Additional Notes
The defense argued that our client was 100% at fault for his injuries as he knew that the defendant driver was intoxicated and got in the truck anyway. The jury actually awarded over $20 million but the verdict was reduced by 25% due to the jury’s assessment that he was 25%S comparatively negligent. The Court also awarded our client $1,070,000 in attorney’s fees because the negligence took place during the commission of a felony DUI.
