The New Mexico Supreme Court Upholds $165 Million Damage Awards in a Deadly FedEx Crash
The New Mexico Supreme Court on Thursday upheld $165 million of jury awards against FedEx in a wrongful-death lawsuit stemming from a deadly crash involving a Texas family and a contract driver for the delivery company.
The 2011 crash on Interstate 10 west of Las Cruces killed Marialy Venegas Morga and her 4-year-old daughter and critically injured the El Paso woman’s 19-month-old son when the family’s small pickup was rear-ended.
According to testimony, the big rig didn’t brake before the crash.
Truck driver Elizabeth Quintana also died.
