BUSTOS v LEIVA
$ 21 Million Verdict.
Auto accident/negligence.  Plaintiff, a 78 year old woman, was a seat-belted passenger in the rear of another car when struck at a Hialeah intersection by a driver talking on the cell phone while driving for a lumber company.  The woman was a left with injuries requiring permanent bedside care, although neither driver was charged.  The defendant had told attorneys he was not using his cell phone just before the impact, but the plaintiff’s attorneys proved otherwise after subpoenaing cell phone records. This influenced the jury’s decision, and the result was one of the largest personal injury verdict in Miami-Dade County’s history.
