Jury renders a $520,000.00 verdict for a motor vehicle accident on Staten Island
Sometimes jurors are hard to figure out.
An independent witness saw the entire accident. Her name was on the police report. John Bosco, a lawyer in the accident law firm of Bosco and Mascolo, Esqs., subpoenaed her to testify. She testified that a NYCTA bus ran the red light and struck his client's car - who had the green light. Despite this evidence, the jury returned a verdict on the liability half of the trial declaring that the bus driver deserved 60% of the blame and his client deserved 40% of the blame - even though Bosco's client had the green light. Go figure.
On the damages half of the trial, the jury returned a verdict of $400,000.00 for past pain and suffering and $120,000.00 for future pain and suffering for a total of $520,000.00
