    ?? Huh? How’s a “disabled truck” traveling too fast for the weather conditions, if it’s disabled?
    More “educated” decisions from an enlightened jury made up of our intelligent fellow citizens…..

      Obviously, this was a poorly written article and should have been proofread before publishing. I am with you that a disabled truck was not moving at all and it is entirely possible that the driver of the car was moving too fast for the weather conditions and struck the trailer. Perhaps the truck driver didn’t have time to put out flashers before this happened.

        PERHAPS the driver didn’t have time to put out flashers? PERHAPS? Did you even bother to read the same article we all did? Let’s see what the article wrote….

        …and failed to abide by safety regulations, which required him to turn the flashers of the truck on and set out reflective triangles.

        If you took a moment to comprehend what you read, there would have been no PERHAPS in your reply.

          PERHAPS you are the one with the reading comprehension problem. Were you there at the scene of this accident? You have no idea what happened.

    As the NFL pre-game show proclaims, Common Man! What is it on these awards when they will shrink with negotiations between attorney’s?

    WOW. 32 Million for a PASSENGER of the car where they were 40% responsible. So that means that they were considering this a. . . $45,000,000 lawsuit if you consider add 40% of the 32m award together. But, if the 32M represents only the 20% off set, then exceeds astronomically stupid in the scope of liability awards and justice.
    Now, the driver was traveling too fast for conditions and crashed, bringing his vehicle to a stop. How long was he there before he was struck? Did he even have time to deploy these? Was the visibility so bad that these people couldn’t see a 13′ tall van trailer before hitting it? If so, then they too were driving at a speed that was beyong their stopping distance. OR maybe they lost control and hit the trailer. If that is the case then they caused their own accident. This country needs an enema.
