Real Case Outcomes & Data

A woman sued after she was paralyzed in a rollover crash. The driver was intoxicated and lost control of the vehicle. The woman was ejected and sustained paralysis. The defense argued the woman was at fault and that her family could provide care. A jury found for the woman and awarded damages.

One driver was operating a truck when it left the road and rolled over. The driver was convicted of intoxication assault. The passenger sustained a spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis. The passenger sued the driver for negligence, the truck owner for negligent entrustment, and the vehicle manufacturer for products liability.
