Plaintiff’s husband was returning home from work when, after waiting for the intersection to clear, made a left turn at an intersection. The light was green when he entered the intersection but he had to wait for the light to cycle through and the intersection to clear before he made his turn, As he made his turn, Defendant zoomed through the intersection and caused a collision after the light had turned red.

Defendant vigorously defended this case and never made an offer to settle during the pre-trial proceedings.
