Florida Jury Awards Motorcyclist $38M

A jury in Palm Beach County, Florida recently awarded a motorcyclist $38 million for injuries and damages sustained in a motor vehicle accident.  Timo Nummela suffered pelvis and leg fractures as well as severed fingers when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle.  Nummela and the other driver’s views were allegedly obstructed by overgrown bushes.  Additionally, the other driver ran through a stop sign, according to witnesses.

Nummela settled with the owner of the property for negligently maintaining its premises and obstructing visibility on the roadway and intersection.  He then proceeded to trial against the other driver.
