An eleven-year-old boy was struck by a car while crossing an intersection in Staten Island, New York, on his bicycle. Although the driver had a stop sign and the boy did not, the insurance company for the driver claimed the driver was already in the intersection when the boy rode his bike into the side of the car. After several days of trial, including testimony from the boy, the driver, and an accident reconstruction expert, a settlement of $475,000 was reached for the boy.
