A 21-year-old Florida woman was recently awarded $65 million by a jury for injuries she sustained in a traffic accident 2 years ago.

Kendra Lymon, who was 19 at the time of the accident, suffered severe injuries after being T-boned by an 18-wheeler while driving through an intersection. The accident left her comatose in the hospital for months, and she continues to receive physical, speech, and occupational therapy. 

The jury's verdict held truck driver Robert Bohn and trucking company Bynum Transport, Inc. fully responsible for causing Lymon's injuries. According to testimony, Bohn made a careless turn through the intersection and struck Lymon's car on the driver's side. Lymon's lawsuit also claimed that Bynum Transport failed to monitor Bohn's hours and enforce trucking regulations, allowing driver fatigue to play a role in the accident.
