Connecticut plaintiff and defense attorneys have agreed on a total award of $18,653,570 for a Pennsylvania man who suffered back and neck injuries after a tractor-trailer rear-ended his car in Westport in 2014.
A Stamford Superior Court jury in May awarded Jorge Amparo $14.2 million and his wife, Diva, about $800,000 for loss and future loss of consortium for a total award of $15 million. Both sides then filed postverdict motions. The defense was looking to set aside the verdict and reduce the amount, while the plaintiff’s side was seeking interest on the jury award.
