A Waterbury Superior Court jury has awarded $23,050,000 to a boy who suffered two skull fractures after the school bus he was a passenger in struck a tree in Wolcott in 2015.
The case hinged on whether the boy’s aggressive behavior following the accident was due to his moderate to severe autism or the bus collision. The plaintiff’s attorneys—father-and-son team Michael and Jeremy D’Amico—expressed outrage at what they claim was the defense’s attempt to paint plaintiff Gabriel Goncalves as an autistic boy with little or no future before the crash.
