Heading: Young's February 4, 1998 automobile accident with Allstate's insured

Text: On February 4, 1998, Young was stopped in traffic in Hilo, Hawai`i, when a car operated by an Allstate-insured driver, Daryl Fujimoto (insured), hit the rear of Young's 1984 Ford. The insured informed Allstate that he fell asleep while driving and caused the crash. As a result of the collision, Young's automobile (worth about $1,795) was destroyed, and Young, who was eighty-four years old at the time of the accident, sustained injuries to her neck, ribs, right knee, and thoracic and lumbar spine. Young had difficulty performing activities of daily living and, consequently, began suffering from depression.
