Mark Tiburzi, severly injured after a 2008 truck crash, was awarded $18 million by the federal magistrate judge. Since the accident, Tiburzi has been under constant care and will remain so for the rest of his life. He will never regain the ability to walk nor talk.
The crash occurred on an interstate highway as the truck driver got distracted by reaching for his cell phone, causing a horrible wreck injuring fourteen people and killing three. The truck driver was blamed for the accident, as well as his trucking firm, who must now cover all damages for Tiburzi’s injuries.
