A Monmouth County jury returned a $17.6 million verdict to a man left disabled following a multivehicle crash involving an 18-wheeler whose driver was under the influence of prescription and nonprescription drugs.

The verdict includes $6.5 million in compensatory damages and $11.15 million in punitives. It follows a separate, $6.85 million settlement in 2021 on behalf of another driver who was killed in the same crash.
