Plaintiff driver was injured when her automobile was struck by Defendant truck. Defendant admitted liability, but disagreed with valuation of general damages.
Plaintiff’s perspective: The trucking company hired a driver who had serious medical issues. When he lost awareness at the wheel and caused this crash, they became responsible. He never should have been hired, and now the Plaintiff’s life is ruined. She will need $1.5 million to pay her medical bills and be adequately compensated for her pain.
Defendant’s perspective: Our driver caused this accident, but he passed a medical exam a few weeks beforehand, so we had no way of knowing that he was diabetic. Plaintiff has not needed surgery and only incurred $58,000 in medical bills, so we believe that $400,000 would fairly compensate her.
