Can you imagine a jury awarding millions of dollars to a family who lost their loved one in a car crash? Last year, several juries awarded the families of people who were killed millions of dollars. Just this year, in neighboring Texas, a jury awarded a Walmart shopper nearly $1.5 million<\/a> after a box allegedly fell on her, hurting her neck permanently.<\/p>\n

In 2015, people in vehicle accident lawsuits recovered millions of dollars in money damages. According to a recent report, the largest amount last year was in Florida, at $844.6 million. The money was awarded to a widow and child of a man killed by a drunk driver.<\/p>\n

Another major accident award was in New Mexico. There, FedEx was held responsible for the death of a mother and her young daughter. The jury found that FedEx did not train its driver properly and awarded $165.5 million to the woman\u2019s husband and son.<\/p>\n

Could these gigantic jury awards happen in Louisiana? Probably not. Cases like these are usually the result of a jury wanting to send a message to someone whose behavior was particularly bad. Louisiana law<\/a> generally does not allow punitive damages. In other words, it does not allow juries to award money to punish a wrongdoer. In most cases, people bringing lawsuits for car accidents can only receive money to compensate them for things like medical bills, lost wages, car damage, and pain and suffering.<\/p>\n
