$2.15 Million
Settlement for a 25-year-old female plaintiff injured when her car was hit by a U.S. Army Hemmet Wrecker, an eight foot wide, 32.5 foot long tow vehicle. The plaintiff's injuries included multiple cognitive deficits, spasticity of the left foot and left hand, balance impairment, atrophy of the left shoulder girdle muscle, slight left foot drop secondary to ankle tendon contracture, and contracture of the left hand.
Because the plaintiff did not have liability insurance at the time of this accident, she was prevented by Proposition 213 from recovering general damages for pain and suffering. Based on a life care plan which was created for plaintiff, she will receive $2,148,697.00 in payout.

Settlement for a man who sustained head injuries in a fall on a construction site in Arizona. The contractor had put up inadequate railings.
