On August 20, 2021, a Florida jury returned a $1 billion verdict in a commercial truck collision lawsuit that resulted in the death of a teenager. A distracted semi-truck driver traveling 70 miles per hour slammed into the rear of the teenager’s vehicle, who was at a complete stop in traffic because another distracted semi-truck driver had rolled his truck on the road ahead. The jury’s billion-dollar verdict came after only 4 hours of deliberation and included $900 million in punitive damages against the truck driver who rolled his semi because he was distracted by his cell phone, had exceeded the legal limit of driving hours, and did not have a commercial driver’s license.
