    Outrageous and biased verdict. This is a case of one driver’s account vs. the other. Absent any independent, objective witnesses, it’s 50/50 liability. Too bad this wasn’t a modified comparative liability state. They nobody gets anything.

      To protect and serve by running a red light with no lights or sirens. Jester, how much would you take to be paralyzed?
      If you do not trust the jury who heard the evidence and provided money for severe injuries, how could you trust any jury to send someone to prison? Why you may not agree, you have not heard the evidence like the jury did.

    No lights or sirens and someone paralyzed for life. Have a little compassion and nice use of the english language.

    Jester, in modified comparative negligence state (not greater than) 50/50 decision would mean both parties can still recover 50%. In most cases, word vs word would mean the parties would have to go through their own policies. Based on the info in this article, this was a word vs word situation.
