    28 Million Dollar Verdict For A Paralyzed 8 year Old In Philadelphia

    A Federal jury, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, sitting in Philadelphia, returned a verdict of $28 Million Dollars for a paralyzed 8 year old boy.  The boy was a passenger in the back seat of a vehicle when the Defendant driver was distracted and veered off the road.

    The insurance company's defense was that another child in the back seat screamed, thus causing the driver to look in the back seat, thus causing the car to veer off the road.

    Congratulations to Eric Weitz, Esquire who was the Plaintiff's lawyer in the case.  And also congratulations to the injured boy and his family.  Hopefully, Eric will be able to collect something on this judgement to help take care of the child in the future.

    I'll post a link to the story once I find it online.
