Cathy Flanzig won the maximum possible award for the widow of an elderly
plaintiff who died as a result of injuries suffered in a shameful hit and run
accident. The driver denied being involved in the accident, but after Cathy
pursued the eyewitness who observed the accident, the Defendants insurance
