A woman who suffered a shattered arm in a collision with an armored truck was awarded $584,000 by a Fulton County jury. 

According to court filings and written responses by her attorney, Joseph Wilson, the accident happened in December 2017 when a Loomis Armored US truck was attempting to turn left from Northside Drive onto Marietta Street.

The armored car failed to stop at a traffic light and hit a Chevrolet Impala driven by Kandyce Hall. Both she and her sister, passenger Kirche Hall, were injured. The latter was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital complaining of back and neck pain, according to the police report. 

The armored car driver, Jabori Hollis, was cited for disregarding a traffic control device. 

In 2018, Leonard Mathis Jr. of the Law Office of Leonard T. Mathis sued Hollis, Loomis and its insurer, ACE American,  in Fulton County State Court on behalf of the sisters. Wilson, of JL Wilson Trial Law, associated into the case last year. 

Wilson said Kandyce Hall's injuries were not as severe as her sister's, and court filings show she settled out of the case last October.

He said Kirche Hall suffered a "butterfly" fracture—in which a bone is fragmented—to her right arm and underwent surgery to insert a plate and screws to repair the bone. Her medical bills were about $96,000.  

Court filings show that the defense admitted Hollis was responsible for the accident but disputed the degree of Hall's claimed damages. 

At trial, Wilson and Mathis represented Hall; and Hollis and Loomis were represented by Heather Miller and Andrew Bagley of McGrew Miller Bomar & Bagley. 

At the close of a two-day trial before Judge Eric Richardson, Wilson said he asked for $3.9 million in total damages, while the defense suggested around $300,000.

The jury awarded Hall $584,000 on Feb. 20.

In conversation with jurors afterward, Wilson said "it appears they created a formula for damages based on what we proposed as well as the defense."

Wilson said Miller and Bagley were "professional and reasonable to work with, and I thought they put up the best defense they could, given the facts."

Miller said there will be no appeal of the verdict.

" Our client had been trying to get this matter resolved for a long time and they are pleased with the verdict," she said via email.
