A California jury has awarded $10.5 million to a Fresno motorist who suffered severe head and brain injuries after she was struck by a dump truck driver who had been drinking.
The 20,000-pound truck was traveling at 25 to 30 mph when it broadsided the woman's car. The dump truck driver had a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, the legal limit. He later pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. The victim has been institutionalized because of her injuries ever since the accident.
Trucking accidents are bad enough when truck drivers are doing their job right. When they're drinking on the job, an accident is inexcusable, and the drivers should be held accountable for the injuries and harm they cause.
