Hakimi v. City of Los Angeles
LIVE
Trial
07/10/25 –
Summary
A California state court jury heard opening statements July 10 in a lawsuit seeking up to $85 million for a comatose man who was struck by a City of Los Angeles garbage truck in a pedestrian crosswalk.
Plaintiff Kamran Hakimi, 60, suffered a devastating traumatic brain injury in the August 2024 accident, and he is currently comatose requiring 24/7 skilled nursing care. The City conceded liability for the accident, and the parties are largely in agreement on Hakimi's past medical expenses, but the amount of future damages owed to Hakimi remains in dispute.
