$13.3 million verdict for woman left quadriplegic after faulty brakes cause bike accident

At 41, our client expected to have her best years ahead of her. She had just gone back to school at the University of Arizona, planning to finish her degree and open an Indian jewelry store. What she didn't expect was to see one company's negligence ruin that future-and change her life forever.
