MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 13, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On December 12, 2013, a Miami-Dade County, Florida jury awarded $15 million in compensatory damages to the parents of a 23-year old son who was killed by a drunk driver. The jury, equally composed of men and women, deliberated for three hours, according to the parents’ attorney, Edward R. Blumberg of Miami, Florida.<\/p>\n

On March 5, 2011, Carlos Lacayo drove while intoxicated striking and killing 23-year old Emerson Kastenholz, a recent University of Miami graduate. A wrongful death lawsuit was brought on behalf of the parents, Kathleen and Michael Kastenholz of Palm Beach County, Florida.<\/p>\n

Although represented by counsel at the trial, Carlos Lacayo had previously fled his impending arrest for DUI manslaughter and his current whereabouts are unknown.<\/p>\n

An additional verdict for punitive damages in the amount of $350,000 was returned by the jury to deter those who would drive while intoxicated.<\/p>\n

“The jury has sent a clear message that drunk driving will not be tolerated in Florida,” stated the Kastenholz’ attorney Edward R. Blumberg. <\/p>\n
