CompFox AI Summary

The plaintiff, previously injured in a work-related accident, sustained further personal injuries in a bus accident in 2010 and subsequently sued. A jury awarded her damages, including for past medical expenses, and past and future lost earnings. The defendants sought a collateral source setoff, arguing that the plaintiff's Workers' Compensation and Social Security disability benefits from her prior injury should reduce the award. While the Supreme Court initially denied this motion, the appellate court modified the judgment. The court reduced the awards for past and future lost earnings based on established Workers' Compensation benefits but denied a setoff for Social Security benefits and medical bills due to the defendants' failure to provide sufficient proof. As a result, the judgment was modified to reflect adjusted damages for lost earnings.
