New York woman’s $2 million pain award cut to $1.35 million or new trial ordered

Wait 5 sec.

In a surprising turn of events, a New York appeals court has invalidated a $2 million jury award for Estela Larrea, who experienced significant pain following a car accident with Sanitation Salvage Corp. The court ruled that the original sum was disproportionate to similar cases. Larrea now faces a choice: accept a lowered offer of $1.35 million within 30 days or face a fresh trial on damage compensation.
