Judge Awards Damages to Paralyzed Trucker
A Florida judge on Tuesday awarded $14.6 million to a truck driver paralyzed in a 2007 accident. According to an attorney for Derry Brown Jr., the suit was filed against National Casualty Co. as an uninsured motorist claim. The accident occurred when the driver swerved to avoid another driver who ran a stop sign. Brown lost use of his arms and legs as a result of the accident and requires ongoing rehabilitation.
