    Teen recovers after she's struck by car while crossing road

    A teen recovered $390,991 after she was struck by a car while crossing the road one winter evening. Zoe Malinoski was 13 years old when she was crossing the road and was struck by Sarah Fairbanks. Zoe sustained a fractured pelvis, a fractured hip, a fractured tooth, multiple skull fractures and bleeding on her brain. She spent two weeks in intensive care. She was left with cognitive defects and she continues to display memory problems in school. Defense counsel argued that Zoe darted out in front of the car, leaving Fairbanks no time to react. Zoe was also wearing dark clothing that winter evening. Zoe was found 25 percent liable, which reduced her $521,322 award. Of her award, $400,000 was for future pain and suffering.

    The case was Malinoski v. Fairbanks.
