This case settled for $7,000,000 during trial in California Superior Court. The client suffered spinal injuries in a collision with a police cruiser operated by a city police officer.
Collisions involving police vehicles raise questions that ordinary car accident cases do not: whether the officer was responding to an emergency, whether lights and sirens were active, and what immunities the city will claim. These cases depend on evidence gathered early, including dispatch records, dash camera footage, and vehicle data.
A mid-trial settlement is reached after the case has been filed, discovery is complete, and a jury has been seated.
