Jury Awards 30 Million Dollars to Man Paralyzed in I-405 Rear End Accident

10-21-10    A jury awarded a paralyzed 30 year old man 30 million dollars as a result of a rear-end accident on an I-405 onramp. The Plaintiff's attorneys alleged the onramp was negligently designed because  the metered lane came up after an abrupt turn, and was poorly lit. The injured man was struck by a painting company truck, and the jury found the painting company 60% responsible and the state was 40% responsible. The verdict will be appealed.
