Summary
In this trial, David Andrade suffered a fatal motorcycle crash after colliding with a pickup truck. David's parents, Hortencia and Salvador Andrade, sue truck driver Luis Tapia, claiming that Tapia's lack of attention while making a left turn across traffic caused David's death.
Representatives for the Andrades argue that Tapia should have noticed David's motorcycle, and that Tapia had 20 seconds of visibility to adjust accordingly.
Attorneys for Tapia suggest Andrade was speeding at the time of the collision and had trace amounts of methamphetamine in his bloodstream. They claim that surveillance video showed that Tapia had his turn signal on and was proceeding cautiously while searching for oncoming vehicles.
Outcome
Verdict for plaintiff.
Total damages: $36.25 million.
