Wrong Death – $600,000 Cap Increased to $1,375,000

The clients were parents of a motorcyclist who was killed by a driver. The driver made a left turn and failed to yield, turning in front of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist was killed instantly when his motorcycle collided with the car after it illegally turned left.
