Amy Bolandis from Missouri just won ₹7,54,06,360 (about ₹75.4 million) in compensation after a court confirmed she deserved compensation for a 2018 car accident.
The crash happened when a UniFirst delivery van driver, Thomas Bateman, pulled out into traffic without checking properly because his view was blocked by a large truck that had stopped in the right-hand lane to turn into the same parking area.
Bateman admitted not keeping proper lookout
Bolandis suffered a broken and dislocated ankle that needed surgery.
Bateman admitted he didn't keep a proper lookout, and while the defense tried to blame Bolandis for speeding, the court found no real proof of that.
In the end, the ruling reinforced that drivers need to be careful: even one moment's mistake can have big consequences.
