The case proceeded to a jury trial in December 2024, focused on the liability of the tortfeasor and the value of Carpenter’s injuries. The jury determined that Carpenter’s injuries were worth $5,000. Since Carpenter had already received $25,000 from the tortfeasor’s insurer, the court entered judgment on the UIM claim in favor of Liberty Mutual, finding that no further payment was due.
