$1,500,000

$1,500,000 Plaintiff, a passenger in her husband's car, was struck by an unmarked police officer attempting to make a traffic stop without its lights or sirens. During discovery, we established that the police had no justifiable basis to stop, let alone strike, the vehicle in which Plaintiff was a passenger. The Defendants denied liability on the basis that they were protected by the doctrine of governmental immunity. The Defendants lost their motions to dismiss, and the case settled at a Pre-Trial Conference.
