$764,900 Verdict: Phantom car’s dust cloud on dirt road causes a collision

Medical examiners clash over MRIs; jury decides nonparty mostly at fault

On April 22, 2010, plaintiff was driving on a dirt road in Livingston County. A second vehicle was approaching from the opposite direction, and a third vehicle passed the second vehicle at a high rate of speed.

The third vehicle then sped past plaintiff's car, and although it did not make contact with her car, its high speed caused a large cloud of dust to form. The dust cloud prevented plaintiff and the driver of the second vehicle from seeing each other, resulting in a head-on collision.

Type of action: No-fault, uninsured motorist

Type of injuries: Lumbar disc protrusion and radiculopathy

Court/Case no./Date: Wayne County Circuit Court; 11-011768-NF; July 16, 2013

Verdict amount: $764,900
