According to ABC News Sacramento, a California jury recently awarded 16 million dollars ($16,000,000.00) to a 25-year-old woman struck by a car. Four years ago, the victim was hit by a car when jogging through a crosswalk. The jogger, then performing her medical residency at UC Davis Medical Center, suffered brain damage and permanent disability. At trial, city planners, including a former mayor of Sacramento, testified the crosswalk was unsafe. The jury ultimately felt the city of Sacramento was negligent in creating an unsafe environment for walkers and joggers and believed the city knew the area was dangerous. Since this accident, the city has changed traffic from two-way to one-way and installed a pedestrian-activated signal light.
