$5,000,000 Motor Vehicle Accident Verdict – Philadelphia County

A Philadelphia jury on Thursday awarded $5 million to a man whom an intoxicated driver crashed into and crushed his legs.

The plaintiffs’ attorney, Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer partner Kevin O’Brien, said he and his co-counsel Andrea Sasso and Kristin Buddle made the case that the defendant would not have caused the accident if he were not following the instructions of his employers at the time.

Though defendant Robert Wilson was behind the wheel during the accident, his employers bore the brunt of the verdict. The jury found Wilson to be only 5% negligent.
