An eight-figure verdict that a Pennsylvania jury recently awarded to the estate of a man who was fatally struck by a vehicle while jogging included a more than $450,000 award against the decedent’s insurance broker.
In late June, a Philadelphia jury handed up a $10,456,250 verdict to the estate of Neil Lipschutz, a 62-year-old man who was fatally struck in Abington, Pennsylvania, in 2019 as the result of reckless driving. The award included $10 million against the 21-year-old driver, Hatim Ramadan, who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide last year, and $456,250 against defendants Fonner Insurance Associates and Eric Fonner.
