A Los Angeles jury awarded $35,285,942 to an 81-year-old man who suffered a spinal fracture and permanent injuries after a tractor-trailer rear-ended the vehicle he was riding in on Interstate 10.
A Los Angeles jury awarded $30 million in noneconomic damages in 2023 to Kenya Taylor, whose 6-year-old son was beaten to death by a Los Angeles Unified School District playground worker she had asked to watch him over winter break, and put 90 percent of the fault on the district. The Court of Appeal reversed in June 2025, holding that Education Code section 44808 made the district immune because the death happened off campus, and directed judgment for the district.
An 11-year-old with an IEP requiring door-to-door transport was abandoned at the school curb by district staff, struck by a car on a four-lane road, and left with permanent brain damage; the $28.5 million settlement against Victor Elementary School District was the largest pedestrian accident settlement in California in 2019.
A Los Angeles jury awarded $13,872,900 to a 42-year-old motorcyclist who said a low-speed collision caused neck and groin injuries. In December 2025 the Court of Appeal vacated the judgment and ordered a new trial because the plaintiff disclosed a new medical expert seven days before trial.
