Thomas Ventura v. Town of East Haven: A Superior Court judge has cut in half a $12.2 million verdict against the town of East Haven in the case of a pedestrian who was badly injured after he was hit by an alleged drunken driver who had earlier been detained—and then released—by town police.
The judge had previously ruled that the $9.4 million portion of the award for future noneconomic damages was excessive and reduced it by $6 million. The trial judge then reduced the verdict again last month by $222,446 to account for medical bills that previously had been paid. The total verdict for plaintiff Thomas Ventura is now $5.98 million.
