Miami attorneys won a $4.67 million verdict for a victim of a wrong-way collision on Interstate 95, in a case made unusually challenging by the fact that the plaintiff did not attend the trial.
Plaintiff Amanda Fader told her attorneys she did not want to testify before the jury, or even enter the courtroom, because of lasting trauma from the 2012 head-on crash. Fader, then 20, was a passenger in a friend's Chrysler PT Cruiser when they were hit by a Honda Accord headed the wrong way through Broward County at 3 a.m.
“The first thing she remembers is seeing her friend, who was driving the car, slumped over the steering wheel, not knowing if she was dead or alive,” said Fader's lead attorney, Brett Rosen of Goldberg & Rosen in Miami.
