A Broward jury this week awarded $4.8 million to a Hollywood man who was severely injured in a 2003 car accident.

Michael Gamson, 46, was hurt when the driver of a local drug company's van struck his vehicle from behind on March 11, 2003, near Hollywood Boulevard and 28th Avenue.

Gamson sustained neck and back injuries, which required extensive surgery, said his attorney, Steven J. Hammer.

Gamson sued the drug company's insurance carrier, State Farm. The verdict was reached exactly six years after the accident.

"The award will not be enough to erase his pain, but at least it will take away the stress of wondering how he will support his family and pay for medical bills," Hammer said.
