In this case, a 16-year girl was learning to drive on a parking lot built on a pier over 22-foot deep water without a license or permit and lost control of her vehicle which went through two fences, four parking stops, and into the deep water below. The fencing surrounding the pier was inadequate to stop a motor vehicle. This was a complicated highway design case where we had to overcome alleged municipal code defenses, immunity defenses, and the claim that it was all the inexperienced driver's fault. The victim sustained brain damage due to a lack of oxygen. We were forced to try this case and we obtained a verdict of 80% against the Defendants and the case was ultimately resolved for a cumulative total of $9.5 million.
