California verdict news | 2024 verdict; announced October 29, 2024
Sweet James LLP announced a $17.4 million Kings County jury verdict in October 2024 for two people injured in a Hanford collision. The firm’s account described a City of Hanford tree-trimming truck running a stop sign and striking their vehicle, causing orthopedic and head injuries. The Business Journal separately reported that the jury returned its verdict on August 29, 2024.
City work vehicles create additional record questions
Beyond the collision report, an investigation may need the vehicle’s assignment, driver information and available work records. Preserve the stop-sign approach and sight lines so the traffic sequence can be reconstructed. Each occupant’s injuries should be documented separately rather than combined into a single narrative. A joint headline award does not identify the medical needs or eventual recovery of either individual.
