Amazon ordered to pay $56 damages

A jury in Middlesex Superior Court awarded a Newburyport man $56 million after an Amazon delivery driver fell asleep at the wheel and caused a crash, resulting in severe injuries including a required amputation. The incident occurred in New Hampshire, with the driver crossing the center line at nearly 100 mph, leading to the man's lifetime of health issues and ongoing hospital treatment. Amazon and its logistics partner accepted liability, and the verdict is believed to be the largest in any injury case against Amazon and the largest single plaintiff verdict in Massachusetts history.
