LaPlante v. Martinez

CONCLUDED

Trial

Summary

A California state court jury awarded more than $$27.7 million to a motorcyclist who had his leg amputated after being hit by a construction worker driving to a job site, and the worker's employer was found liable for the man’s injuries.

The San Diego County jury returned their verdict in lengthy trial that began on on April 24. The parties agreed defendant Antelmo Martinez was liable for the accident that cost plaintiff Michael LaPlante his leg, and the trial largely hinged on whether or not his employer Griffith Construction Company was liable for any damages awarded.

Outcome

$27,727,630 awarded to plaintiff
