I had a case where a kid on a bike was kit by a car. He came out of a side street without stopping, no helmet, etc. He sustained head injuries, and was a little “off” after that. Even though he was at fault, they sued and he won a judgement of around $50,000. It was in a trust until he turned 18 or 21, I can’t recall. When he got it, he bought a Mustang convertible. He drove like an idiot and racked up a lot of violations. All the money was gone within a year, and he’s still a little “off.”
