Pizza Hut Ordered to Pay $11 Million

This week in San Diego, a jury decided to award a mother and her daughter $11 million dollars.  The pair was awarded the money after they were seriously hurt during an auto accident with a Pizza Hut delivery driver.  According to reports, the driver had a seizure right before the accident occurred in November of 2008.

After deliberating for two hours, the jury awarded damages to 87 year old Olena Novak and 62 year old Shari Novak.  The jurors found that Pizza Hut was negligent in hiring the driver.

James Yukevich, lawyer for the pizza company, said that the driver did not know she was suffering from a "complex seizure disorder" until after the accident had occurs.

Reports indicate that Olena suffered a broken neck and that Shari suffered permanent brain damage and can no longer care for herself.
