Charlotte Personal Injury Attorney Matt Arnold answers the question: How does the law of contributory negligence play a role in my case?
A North Carolina woman who was seriously hurt in a crash with a distracted driver will receive $4 million in a mediated settlement. The woman was turning left when her vehicle was hit by a commercial van. The van was allegedly traveling at a high rate of speed and went through a red light. The driver of the van was said to be on his phone and therefore distracted at the time of the crash. The van broadsided the woman’s vehicle, causing severe injuries. Phone records were utilized to help prove that the van driver was indeed using the phone when he failed to stop at the light and hit the woman’s vehicle.
