Case Details
A construction worker was left paralyzed after being struck by a car in a work zone. Caltrans approved a $37 million payment in settlement of the personal injury lawsuit. The jury found Caltrans negligent because a site engineer reopened a lane that was supposed to be closed for worker safety, and a traffic light installed instead blinded motorists, leading to the accident. The worker needs around-the-clock care for the rest of his life.
