    Teen injured in near-fatal crash gets $14.8M

    A teenager who was seriously injured in a car crash was awarded $14.8 million, and his mother, who was driving the car, recovered $270,000 on her bystander emotional distress claim. In 2005, Kyle Tilton, then 14, was in the passenger seat of a car driven by his mother, Charlotte Tilton, on State Route 62 in Yucca Valley. As she made a left turn, the car was broadsided on Kyle's side by a Southern California Gas Co. truck. Kyle suffered life-threatening injuries, including a collapsed lung and lacerations to his scalp, spleen and liver. He also suffered a head injury, which caused cognitive impairments. Southern California Gas Co. admitted liability, but contended that Kyle had made a good recovery.
