St. Louis County jury awards $3.2 million in cyclist injury case
A jury in St. Louis County Circuit Court has ordered an award of $3,278,000 to a bicycle rider who was delivering newspapers when he was struck by a tractor-trailer truck in Mexico, Mo., on Sept. 15, 1995.
Christian Boggs, then 13 and now 20, sustained substantial injuries in the accident outside the Archer Daniels Midland plant. On Friday, the jury found the company 60 percent at fault because Decatur, Ill.-based ADM knew that traffic congestion on the street outside its plant was a safety hazard.
