$300,000 Verdict - Automobile Accident - Highway Defect
In an action against the Department of Transportation of the State of Connecticut, Attorney Michael C. Jainchill of RisCassi & Davis, P.C., the Hartford-based personal injury law firm, won a $300,000 verdict for a woman who sustained a severely broken leg and ankle, along with injuries to her knee as a result of losing control of her vehicle as it passed over ice on a State highway which had not been properly maintained. The case is significant because of the ability to overcome the sole proximate-cause rule which applies to State and municipal highway-defect claims.
