Proven verdicts and settlements
On March 9, 1987, Kim Hammond was driving westbound on Highway 70 in St. Louis with her seven-month-old daughter when a semi-tractor trailer owned by R.L. Smith Trucking Company moved into her lane and struck her car. Hammond sustained injuries to her right hand and her neck. R.L. Smith Trucking admitted liability at trial but disputed the extent of her damages. On June 27, 1991, a St. Louis jury awarded Hammond $67,000. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District affirmed the verdict in full on June 9, 1992, rejecting the trucking company's evidentiary challenge.
