Summary

A Michigan state court jury awarded roughly $33 million on May 18 to a man who suffered brain and back injuries after a school bus driver ran a red light and t-boned his truck.

The Oakland County jury returned their verdict in a damages trial that got underway on May 6. A pre-trial ruling found defendant First Student Inc., one of the largest student transport companies in the United States, liable for the 2024 collision that plaintiff Brian Iminski claimed left him debilitating injuries, tasking jurors solely with determining what amount of damages, if any, his alleged injuries warranted.

Outcome

Plaintiff awarded roughly $33 million
