A longshoreman injured onboard a German ship obtains a $5,000,000.00 jury verdict which is upheld by the Virginia Supreme Court. The right to a jury trial in a personal injury case is preserved.

Two people traveling through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel were allowed to sue the rental car company of the defendant driver. The Supreme Court of Virginia permitted this novel legal theory that resulted in a $1,700,000.00 settlement for the victims.

A longshoreman was permitted to sue another longshoreman while both men were working at Virginia International terminals. The Supreme Court of Virginia decision preserved the right of dockworkers to bring an action for personal injury against other longshoremen working at the same terminal. The decision resulted in a $750,000.00 settlement for the plaintiff.
