Let me get this straight. Mr. Covel’s car veers into the defendant’s path, caused by Mr. Covel’s medical condition, and the defendant has to pay $2.8 million.
Sounds to me like it was a star struck jury!! How do you like me now?
What happened to the person that caused the accident ? I drove a car many years ago that needed brakes. And they wonder whats wrong with our court system.
Now this is the kind of jurisprudence I would like to benefit from….whenever I do something stupid on the road, I can sue the other driver for not getting out of my way and letting me hit them! Wait until my attorney finds out about this, talk about cashing in…so they wanted to protect/rehabilitate his name and his reputation? Why, was he drinking and driving? How does this award correct that???
If Republic doesn’t appeal this backwards verdict, I will be surprised. – also – anyone know in which county of Okla. this mis-carriage occured? Most of them are pretty conservative but there are a couple (one just south west of OK City) which are Pltf pits
Couldn’t Mr. Keith’s well meaning but misguided and cash endowed family ‘cleared’ their beloved fathers name by hiring a recon expert to confirm the Father was rearended and pushed across the median? I guess they’ll return the money, since all they wanted to do was ‘clear old pappies name’.
So how big a “truck” was he driving?? Pickup? Tractor/Trailer? And how about the bus driver that all of a sudden sees a “truck” right in front of him. I’m pretty sure he hit the brakes, but in my mind “bad” does not equate to nonexistant!
I think you got it right, Chad…the next move is for them to decide that they did this to clear pappy and not accept any money….but who will pay those poor, starving attorneys? Unless they work pro bono to do the right thing too (???)GMAB
Well, I’m jez an Okie from Mussqueejee–but this was pretty darn simple to us Okie jurors–you had your Mezcan busdriver with a bidness name spelled foreign (c’mon speak Amercan, y’all).
You had your C ‘n W (pronounced dubya–jes like fine our prezdent)star’s family–his daddy, after all. And that Mezcan jez happened to have insurance (don’t that beat all–how ’bout that for a stereotype-buster–gives me a headache jez thinkin’ ’bout it), so we jez redistributed the Yankee insurance company wealth (probably out of New York or someplace like ‘et) in an entirely Amercan way.
Y’all Yankees jez don’t understand the way things is done down here.
See you at our next speed trap court!
Y’all come down now–we got a friendly bidness client as long as y’all speak Amercan.
Well, don’t mind me now–I’m off to noodle some catfish for our New Year’s dinner. Water’s kind of cold but that jez makes ’em move slower and bite slower.

What happened to the other driver that struck Mr. Covel in the rear? Isn’t that what caused him to veer into the defendant’s path?
