The Connecticut Supreme Court has overturned an $11.4 million jury verdict against the town of Clinton stemming from the lawsuit of a man injured in a 2005 car crash.
The lawsuit alleged the town was responsible because a dispatcher failed to tell a volunteer firefighter, who had made a 911 call, to stop pursuing a car that had struck the firefighter’s vehicle and sped away. The car involved in the hit-and-run crashed into a tree after the firefighter had followed it, with blue lights flashing, for nearly three miles at 40 to 50 mph.
