Defense Verdict: Orange County, Florida (Trucking Negligence)

Orlando partners Kurt Spengler and Taira H. Towne, J.D., M.B.A., and associates Devin Harvey and Oscar Draughn, obtained a defense verdict in a trucking negligence case in Orange County, Florida, this week. This case arose from a sideswipe collision that occurred between Plaintiff and our client driver on Thanksgiving Eve in 2017. Plaintiff was 20 years old at the time of the accident, and claimed significant injuries to his neck and back, as well as PTSD, as a result of the accident. Plaintiff presented past medicals in the amount of $130,000, future medicals in the amount of $350,000, and a future lost wages claim of $750,000. After a seven day trial, they asked the jury to award between $2 - $8 million in pain and suffering. The jury deliberated for less than three hours before concluding that Plaintiff had not met their burden in proving negligence, and returned a complete defense verdict.
