Dade Circuit Court jury awarded Austrian tennis star Thomas Muster $2.5 million in damages Wednesday for a Miami auto accident that left him with permanent damage to his left knee.
The verdict was substantially less than the $10 million to $20 million Muster's attorneys were seeking from the Lipton tennis tournament, a volunteer driver, General Motors and a Miami man charged with driving under the influence after the 1999 accident.
