Navigation Miami jury awards former college soccer player $2.8 million
A surveillance video showing a college student playing competitive soccer following a car crash didn’t prevent a Florida jury from awarding her more than $2.8 million for neck and back injuries.
Chantelle Alexander, 23, sued after the Honda Civic she was riding in as a passenger was hit by Ariecel Rojas in 2019.
“It really depends on how much she was playing,” said Emanuel Galimidi, a personal injury attorney with Galimidi Law in Miami. “If she played five to 10 minutes in the opening game of the season, and then just kind of bowed out, then I can see why the jury wouldn’t give too much credence to that as an argument.”
