A jury awarded a driver more than $1 million for injuries she suffered in a collision in West Palm Beach.

In 2011, Mia Farland, 51, was driving a compact SUV east on Royal Poinciana Way. As she turned left onto Bradley Place, another SUV appeared in the lane to her left and struck the side of her vehicle. The other driver, Nelson Peltz, was found negligent, and the case focused on damages. Farland claimed the accident aggravated her scoliosis and broke rods that stabilized her back. Surgery to replace the rods ended up injuring her spine, and ultimately she lost an inch from her left leg.
