Jury Awards $15 Million in Accident Case
A Georgia state court jury has held an alleged drunk driver responsible for $15 million in damages to a girl injured in a car accident. The jury wanted to attribute some portion of the liability to Chrysler, because the seat belt the injured girl was wearing broke during the accident.
The case began Jan. 1, 2007, when a Honda Accord driven by the alleged drunk driver ran a red light in and hit the right side of a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee carrying the plaintiffs. The girl was in the rear left-hand seat and wearing her seatbelt, according to the pretrial order. The impact caused a hinge pin at the base of her seat to pop out and she was pitched backward into the cargo compartment.
