"A $4.5 million judgment awarded to a Las Vegas man who was severely injured when the car he was riding in overturned in July 2002 has been upheld by the Nevada Supreme Court.Aaron Cromer was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic with severe disability to his hands, arms and legs when the car driven by William G. Wilson rolled over.
Wilson was convicted of felony drunk driving and reckless driving. Wilson’s blood alcohol level was 0.31, and the state’s limit to legally drive was 0.10. And he also had cocaine in his system.
The court said the convictions of Wilson established his liability for the accident. It ruled District Judge Mark Denton should have granted a pre-trial summary judgment that Wilson was liable for the accident.
The court said a jury trial should then have been held on the amount of damages and whether Cromer was partly responsible for the accident."
