Thomas McCauley v. Devin Schreyer: A 9-year-old boy who was nearly killed after the vehicle he was riding in was struck head-on by a dump truck was awarded nearly $8 million by a Bridgeport jury recently.
But the total damages will be much higher. The truck driver was deemed to be reckless, and not just negligent, opening the door for an additional $3 million in attorney fees. Moreover, the plaintiff’s counsel said there will be about $1 million in offer of compromise interest, bringing the total to about $12 million.
