Case Details

A driver for the trucking company Werner was driving a truck on State Highway 38 near the intersection of Bypass Road in Georgia. The truck driver was in the center lane when, without proper warning, he changed into the left travel lane and stopped. At the same time, another driver was attempting to pass a vehicle in the far right lane. When she pulled her vehicle into the passing lane, she struck the truck and sustained severe bodily injuries.

Additional Notes

A jury ruled unanimously in the plaintiff’s favor awarding her $6 million in damages. The jury found that the defendant was 60% responsible for the accident, and that the plaintiff was 40% responsible for the accident. Werner was required to pay the plaintiff 60% of $6 million or $3.6 million. The trucking company appealed the verdict. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, however, found in favor of the plaintiff and denied Werner’s appeal.
