Another Texas “Nuclear Verdict”

Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive. For #### sake you see a pilot car for an oversize load and a narrow road you should excercise a little caution.

 

So, two of the three settled before the trial and only 2A pilot was the defendant. Just how do the complainant and attorneys think they will get $730 million from a little small pilot car company that probably has $1 million in liability insurance and a net worth of $250,000?

 

Sorry, but she was 73 years old, moving at 65 mph on 2 lane roads going into a narrow bridge and deliberately dodged the lead pilot... she is not worth 5 mill much less 730 mill

 

It will get appealed and reduced

and won’t ever get paid
The insurance company will pay their policy limit and the pilot car company , which is Probabaly just one car and one driver , will file Bankruptcy.

not sure about Texas since it’s different in every state but a super load , especially one that wide , should have had at least one more pilot car in front . even if it was required

plus they should have had some strobe lights on the outer edges of the load .

but , if they drove off the roads to avoid the pilot car and kept going , all the blinky lights in the world would help a senile old driver

 

The days of personal responsibility are over

That car driver had no business being within 40 feet of a steering wheel.

 

Blew past the front pilot car speeding and somehow its not her fault?

 

73 and 2 churches in one day, somebody wasn't answering her prayers, perhaps he wanted a face to face chat with her, but he may have gone a little overboard.
