Vahedy v. Remigio
Following a bench trial, a judge pro tem awarded plaintiff Cecilia Vahedy damages of over $1.47 million for injuries she sustained in a motor vehicle accident while attending an “adventure camp†sponsored by defendant Jews for Jesus. Jews for Jesus and defendant Deborah Remigio, the driver of the van in which plaintiff was riding at the time of the accident, appeal from the judgment. Defendants contend: (1) the judge erred in failing to disqualify himself from the case; (2) the judgment is excessive and reflects the judge’s bias against them for seeking his removal; and (3) the judge erred in concluding plaintiff’s claims are not barred by a release agreement signed by her father before camp began. We reject these contentions and affirm the judgment.
