Glynn v. O’Halloran

Glynn, 45, was driving her car on a highway when a truck driving in the opposite direction crossed the centerline and struck Glen's car, killing her.  Although the truck had allegedly been weaving for several miles before the incident, the driver was not given a sobriety test immediately following the crash.  A subsequent blood test performed at a hospital revealed his blood alcohol level to be .0149 percent, well above the legal limit.  The driver had apparently also been involved in a hit-and-run incident earlier that day.

 

Glynn, a part-time English professor, had earned about $25,000 annually, and her estate claimed between $585,700 and about $1.76 million in economic damages.  She is survived by and adult daughter and a minor daughter and son.

 

Glynn's adult daughter, on behalf of Glynn's estate, sued the driver and his employer.  Plaintiff alleged, among other claims, that the driver drove the truck in a reckless manner and failed to keep the truck under control, keep a proper lookout, and obey any traffic signals.  Plaintiff further alleged that the driver was acting in the course and scope of his employment at the time of the collision, making his employer vicariously liable for his negligence.  Plaintiff's additional allegations against the employer included failure to exercise due care in supervising an employee and failure to ensure the driver was fit to perform work duties.

 

The parties settled before trial for $11 million, paid by defendants' insurer.

Awarded: $11,000,000.00
