Proven verdicts and settlements
A Ventura County jury awarded $10 million after a corporate van driver executed an illegal U-turn into a painter's path, leaving him needing a cervical fusion four years later; the case settled for $7.5 million when the defense's life care planner admitted on cross-examination to using ChatGPT for her cost estimates.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
