On June 11, 2016, our client and her mother were passengers in a vehicle traveling to a zero gravity flight experience in Sanford, Florida (Seminole County). The Defendant was operating a vehicle on behalf of his employer, RJD Services and despite a solid red traffic light drove his commercial vehicle through the intersection. This resulted in a multi-vehicle collision.
Our client, who was then just 11-years old, sustained the brunt of the impact. She lost consciousness at the scene and was diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury. She has struggled both physical, cognitive, and emotional injuries continuously since the accident and is expected to endure impairment for the remainder of her life.
Eight years after the incident, the jury found that our clients' injuries were caused by the collision, that her injuries were permanent and that she has and will continue to suffer non-economic damages. They awarded our client $2.3M.
