The Plaintiff, a 15-year-old boy, was a pedestrian crossing an urban tidewater road in a marked crosswalk, with the walk signal, when a turning semi-truck hit him.
The Plaintiff sustained facial injuries including nasal bone fractures, maxillary bone fractures, lip laceration, and significant injuries to his teeth. He also sustained injuries to his right knee including hairline fractures.
The Plaintiff incurred roughly $65,000 in past medical bills. He will need future dental care, which is estimated to cost $50,000 over his lifetime.
The case resolved for $450,000 at a pre-suit mediation. All other terms of the settlement are confidential.
