An appellate court has affirmed a $1.3 million award of damages to a man seriously injured in a rear-end car crash, although the court did remand for recalculation of prejudgment interest.
According to court records, defendant was the employer of the driver/owner of the vehicle that negligently struck the rear end of plaintiff’s vehicle, resulting in plaintiff’s hospitalization and several surgeries.
Plaintiff at the center of the case was once a physically active man. He engaged in vigorous running. He bench-pressed 250 pounds regularly. He played basketball, engaged in water sports and often went “off-roading” in all-terrain vehicles.
