Baltimore Jury Provides $70,000 Verdict Against Towson Automotive, Inc.
Last week, a Baltimore County jury returned a $70,000.00 verdict against a car dealer. A portion of the issues in the jury’s verdict sheet involved a disclosure notice, and the court instructed the jury that the defendant admitted to not sending a copy of the notice to the Motor Vehicle Administration (“MVA”) as required by law. The jury found the following:
- That the consumer suffered damages as a result of the defendant not sending a copy of the notice to the MVA
- That the defendant did not provide to the consumer a copy of the notice
- That the consumer suffered damages as a result of the defendant not providing to the consumer a copy of the notice
The jury also failed to find that the defendant forged the consumer’s signature on the notice, but the jury did find that the defendant materially altered the notice after the consumer signed it. The jury also found:
-
That the defendant intentionally concealed a material fact to the consumer with the intent to induce the consumer to act in reliance on such representation
-
That the defendant negligently failed to tell the consumer a material fact
-
That the consumer suffered damages as a result of the concealment from, or the negligent failure to tell, the consumer of the material fact
The jury provided for damages:
-
$15,000.00 for economic
-
$5,000.00 for non-economic
-
$50,000.00 for punitive
