A 4 year old boy was a passenger in his mother’s car which struck a puddle in the roadway causing the car to go out of control and collide with an oncoming truck. The child suffered multiple fractures and serious neurological injuries. The case settled against the mother for her $10,000 insurance policy, plus $250,000 from the manufacturer of her motor vehicle and $1.8 million from the contractor who built the road with improper drainage, for a total settlement of $2,060,000.
