Payout to Injured Cyclist | Pacific Palisades
The city of Los Angeles and Caltrans have been ordered by a jury to pay $9.1 million to Robert Jeffrey Watts, a cyclist who swerved on the PCH to avoid hitting a pile of sand and rocks on the street and was then hit by a truck, according to the LA Times.
The incident, which occurred in July 2014, left Watts with a traumatic brain injury that rendered him unable to continue working at his camera company.
