Trucking Accident Leads to $36M Award in a Personal Injury Suit
A California jury awarded $36.48 million to an Indian couple who was injured in a trucking accident during a 2010 visit to the state. Jaishree and Prakash Sheth were traveling on Interstate 10 on March 26, 2010, when a big-rig truck tried to pass their Toyota Camry. Instead, the truck crashed into them, causing their car to spin out of control and hit the median and another vehicle before swerving across the freeway, according to the Associated Press
