James DENTON, et al,

v.

UNIVERSAL AM-CAN, LTD., et al.

No. 2015L001727.

October 16, 2017.

Verdict Form

We, the Jury, assign the following percentages of fault:

 

 

David Lee Johnson individually and as agent of Louis Broadwell, LLC and Universal Am-Can Ltd.

 

 

40 %

 

 

 

 

Universal Am-Can Ltd. (negligent hiring and/or retention)

 

 

60 %

 

 

 

 

George Kallis, deceased

 

 

0 %

 

 

 

 

TOTAL

 

 

100%

 

 

 

(The fault percentages listed in the blanks above must total 100%)

 

We further find that the total amount of compensatory damages the plaintiff, James Denton is entitled to recover, without considering the fault percentages, is $ 16,095.900 itemized as follows:

 

 

The reasonable expense of necessary.medical care, treatment, and services received and the present cash value of the reasonable expenses of medical care, treatment, and services reasonably certain to be received in the future:

 

 

$ 1,178,900

 

 

The present cash value of earnings lost and reasonably certain to be lost in the future as a result of the injuries:

 

 

$ 2,917,000

 

 

The pain and suffering experienced and reasonably certain to be experienced in the future:

 

 

$ 6,000,000

 

 

The disability experienced and reasonably certain to be experienced in the future:

 

 

$ 6,000,000

 

 

Disfigurement

 

 

$ 0

 

 

 

TOTAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES TO JAMES DENTON: $ 16,095,900

 

We further find that the total amount of damages that the Plaintiff’s Spouse, Theresa Denton, is entitled to recover, without considering the fault percentages, is $ 3,060,000, itemized as follows:

 

 

The reasonable value of the services of her husband which she has been deprived and the present cash value of the services of her husband of which she is reasonably certain to be deprived of in the future

 

 

$ 60,000

 

 

The reasonable value of the society, companionship and sexual relationship with her husband of which she has been deprived and the society, companionship and sexual relationship with her husband of which she is reasonably certain to be deprived of in the future

 

 

$ 3,000,000

 

 

 

TOTAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES TO THERESA DENTON: $ 3,060,000

 

We therefore calculate the plaintiffs’ verdict amount as follows:

 

 

Total compensatory damages of James and Theresa Denton

 

 

$ 19,155,900

 

 

David Lee Johnson/Louis Broadwell, LLC’s and UACL’s percentage of fault as stated above:

 

 

x 40 %

 

 

Plaintiffs Verdict Amount against David Lee Johnson/Louis Broadwell, LLC and UACL:

 

 

$ 7,662,360

 

 

We calculate damages against UACL for negligent hiring and/or retention as follows:

 

 

 
Total Damages of James and Theresa Denton

 

 

$ 19,155,900

 

 

UACL’s percentage of fault as stated above

 

 

x 60 %

 

 

Plaintiff’s Verdict Amount against UACL

 

 

$ 11,493,540

 

 

 

We further find that Plaintiff James Denton is entitled to receive $ 35,000,000 in punitive damages. (Please write “zero” in the space provided if you decide that the plaintiff is not entitled to receive punitive damages.)
