Proven verdicts and settlements
A Jackson County jury awarded $37.5 million to Steven Holdeman, who was left a paraplegic after a semi-truck rear-ended his car on Interstate 435, finding Philip Stratman 99 percent at fault for stalling his vehicle in the center lane.
Jennifer Britt was struck by an intoxicated wrong-way driver on Interstate 29; after American Family declined to participate in binding arbitration, an arbitrator awarded $5,998,027 including $4 million in punitive damages, and the insurer lost its later bid to challenge the award in court.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
