Proven verdicts and settlements
Roger Ross was driving a farm tractor north on K-7 Highway in Doniphan County, Kansas in March 2014 when a Jeschke Ag Service tractor-trailer driven by Donald Shaw tried to pass in a no-passing zone as Ross began a left turn. The truck struck Ross's tractor mid-turn and threw him from it, causing a traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull, a fractured pelvis, and a cerebral hemorrhage that left him with permanent memory loss. A Jackson County, Missouri jury assessed Jeschke 65 percent at fault and Ross 35 percent at fault, and awarded $3.9 million in economic damages and $2.4 million in non-economic damages. After Kansas's cap on non-economic damages and Ross's share of fault were applied, and punitive damages were added, the court entered judgment for $3,535,000, which the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed in full in 2018.
