Case Details
On April 17, 2008, two African-American males were driving in a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am on the 710 North freeway near Long Beach when they were cut off by a phantom green car. They didn’t hit the car in front of them but were rear-ended by a tractor trailer. The property damage was about $5,000. The driver suffered injuries to his neck, back and ankle. The passenger had a non-displaced fracture at the C-2 vertebrae with no surgery. The total meds were around $100,000. Both plaintiffs had significant pre-existing injuries. Additionally, the driver had three felony convictions. The defendant contended it was a “staged accident” and that the plaintiffs intentionally caused the accident (the defense pre-trial 998 offer was a waiver of costs).
Additional Notes
After a 4 week trial, the jury rejected all of defendants’ arguments, and returned a verdict of $632,000.00.
