1998-2239 (La. App. 4 Cir. 2/17/99), 731 So. 2d 353
Ms. Bradley, a former nurse, lost her leg and sustained other serious spinal injuries in an auto accident caused by the negligence of a City employee. After a ten day trial before Judge Bernette Johnson (now a Louisiana Supreme Court justice), Ms. Bradley was awarded over $5.6 million for the loss of her leg and other injuries and resulting disability. After further protracted litigation to collect the judgment, the final resolution resulted in over $4.5 million to Ms. Bradley, which was proclaimed by City officials to be the largest sum collected by a personal injury client against the City in the history of New Orleans.
