Verdict news | February 2025

Courtroom View Network reported a $21.3 million Los Angeles County verdict in February 2025 for Leila Miyamoto after a tractor-trailer rear-ended her vehicle. The underlying collision occurred in 2016. CVN described competing accounts about her stop before a left turn and the truck driver’s conduct. The plaintiff was represented at trial by a team led by Nick Rowley of Trial Lawyers for Justice.

Preserve evidence of the approach to a rear-end impact

Even in a rear-end case, the parties may dispute the traffic sequence or a sudden stop. Identify recordings, witnesses, delivery records and available vehicle data that explain the approach. Medical evidence should then address the injuries and their connection to the collision. Settlement offers reported after trial are only part of the history and should not replace an independent assessment of the evidence.
