John Adorno was injured after he slammed his car broadside into a 34-foot trash truck that had lumbered into the road from a shaded cross street. Adorno hired attorney Timothy Brignole, who sued the truck driver and his employer, and eventually won a $2,525,130 verdict for Adorno. Brignole credits in part his use of a particular type of chart that slowly reveals economic and non-economic damages for the jury. "What I'm finding is, when you use the board, whatever you ask for, they give you half," Brignole said.
