Daniel Banks*, 19, was driving his 1980 Datsun on I-95 when he was rear-ended by Charles Weston*. As a result of the accident, Mr. Banks was left a complete paraplegic. Mr. Banks made the most of his post-accident life, including winning the World Wheelchair Games in England and training for the 2000 Australia Paralympics.
Prior to trial on this case, the Court recommended that Mr. Banks accept $500,000 to $750,000. Upon an Attorney's recommendation, this offer was rejected by Mr. Banks. After a 9-day trial, the jury agreed that the case value was much higher and awarded the plaintiff $2,500,000. After trial, we demanded and were awarded an additional $500,000 in damages, due to the defendant's inappropriate delays in making the payment.
