Werner hit with $90 million dollar verdict

Thanks but Zvar treed you. I went to the link you posted but after seeing I had to create an account I tapped out.

 

I logged in way before...they changed the names on the case file...it wasn't listed this morning or last night...so there you go..

 

I have more questions than can ever be answered. I’m going to have to just give up because this makes less and less sense all the time

 

And that's exactly why I quit reading the documents. Was giving me a headache about how there is no common sense in what I was reading. Then I remembered it was a court case. Common sense goes out the window.

I was involved in a case. Just a credit card ID stolen thing back before they knew about ID theft. Anyway, I got sent notice papers and never got them for some reason. I did get the default judgement against me and I went back to the judge to get the case reopened so I could actually fight it.
The opposing lawyer actually uttered these words in a court of law. "Can you prove you did not get the notice?"
It took me a good 10 seconds to answer because I could not process a, in theory, professional asking such a question.

 

It makes perfect sense. The jury voted based on biased emotions and not law or facts.

 

if a jury asked to see those two pieces of evidence again and was denied, then WTF is the point. Almost like the whole purpose of the first trial is to F it up so bad they have to hear an appeal......job security. Like why sue a truck driver that’s likely here on a work visa making .30/mile to get a judgment of 90 mill? $90,000,000/.30 = 300,000,000 miles Ali has to drive to pay Werner back LMMFAO. Screw OJ this is the trial of the century Bring on the appeal I can’t wait for the movie

 

Do I actually feel bad for Werner right now? What the hell is the world coming to?

 

According to an article in Texas Lawyer, they argued that “They are supposed to slow down to a crawl, which is defined as 15 miles per hour, and the driver is supposed to exit the highway when it’s safe to do so.", and the law firm's press release states "Every state’s Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) manual instructs 18-wheeler drivers to slow to a crawl and get off the road during icy conditions."

I dunno, but am I missing something? I can't find any regulations that use the term "crawl", or define crawl as 15 mph.

 

Well that’s the whole crux of the case and what we’ve been arguing about here. The CDL Manual says the driver “should” do one thing yet laws and regs don’t say the same as the manual. I give the jury a plus for asking to see the green book and I give the defense team a minus if they didn’t educate the jury by using the green book as evidence.
