$24 Million Awarded to Widower Of Woman
A Florida jury recently awarded $24 million to a man whose wife was killed when a car, driven by a drunken driver, crossed a sidewalk, jumped a curb, and then crashed into the poolside cabana at the Riverside Hotel. Jurors assigned 15% liability to the hotel and 85% of the liability to 37-year-old Rosa Kim. She was sentenced in January to 15 years in prison.
The decedent, who was 26-year-old, was seven months pregnant and on a vacation with her husband.
