George Robins, widower of Sylvia Robins, sought judgment for damages against Wayne Kenneth Wagar under s. 61 of the Family Law Act after Wagar was noted in default.
Sylvia Robins was killed in a car accident caused by Wagar, who was uninsured, unlicensed, and impaired.
The court assessed damages for loss of care, guidance, companionship, and significant past and future attendant care, considering Mr. Robins' legal blindness and hearing impairment, which made his wife his primary caregiver.
The court awarded $390,000 in damages, plus $4,500 for costs, acknowledging prior settlements with other defendants and an insurer.
