Case Details
A Yolo County jury awarded plaintiff Michial Jacobs $1.5 million after a big rig driver fell asleep and rear-ended his trailer and pickup truck. Plaintiff suffered chronic mid-back pain, a concussion, and a fractured rib, preventing him from returning to work as a carpenter.
Additional Notes
Believed to be the largest verdict for personal injury in Yolo County. Defendants admitted liability but contested injuries. Plaintiff made a CCP 998 offer to settle on June 20, 2007, for policy limits, leading to an additional $442,000 in interest plus costs.
