Summary

Decedent Joseph Wolford was struck and killed by Luis Jimenez after Jimenez failed to stop at a stop sign, hitting Wolford's car at almost 80 miles per hour. Jimenez was found liable by the court, with this trial to determine damages and comparative fault. Wolford's children sue Jimenez, claiming that he bears full responsibility for the death of their father.

Attorneys for Wolford's family argue that Jimenez bears full responsibility for the accident. Additionally, they pursue punitive damages, as according to them, Jimenez received a blood alcohol reading of .107, above the legal limit of .08.

Attorneys for Jimenez argue that Wolford bears partial responsibility for the accident, spotlighting testimony from accident reconstructionists that Wolford did not fully stop at the intersection.
