A southwestern Illinois high school student and his parents will get $910,000 under a jury award related to injuries the teenager sustained in a bicycle accident.
The (Alton) Telegraph reports that Edwardsville High School student Trevor Brady says he plans to use some of the money for college tuition. He’ll receive the money under a jury verdict last week in Madison County.
The trial involved Brady’s lawsuit against Plocher Construction Co., which was building a new office building in Alton and admitted it misplaced a steel beam that Brady hit while bicycling to middle school in March 2010.
The accident left Brady with facial injuries and missing teeth.
Brady’s lawyer argued for $3.3 million, while an attorney for Plocher suggested $250,000.
Plocher’s attorney declined to publicly discuss the verdict.
