- $28 million judgment after a jury verdict on behalf of a 48-year-old woman against the owner and lessor of a motor vehicle that struck the woman’s car and paralyzed her. This jury verdict and judgment followed a precedent-setting decision by the Rhode Island Supreme Court in this case that lessors of motor vehicles were subject to Rhode Island’s vicarious liability statutes. See Oliveira v. Lombardi, 794 A.2d 453 (R.I. 2002)
