A pedestrian suffered significant physical injuries when he was struck by a car while crossing a street at an intersection. The pedestrian sued the driver of the car for negligence, alleging that the accident was the drivers fault. The pedestrian needed $10,000 worth of medical care right away in order to be able to recover fully from the injuries. The pedestrian had a health insurance policy that covered $8,000 of the medical costs. The driver denied that he was negligent, but he had an auto insurance policy that would cover the incident if the driver was found to be liable. Without admitting liability, the auto insurance company decided to voluntarily pay $2,000 for the medical care needed by the pedestrian, figuring that just in case the driver wound up being held liable, it would be better to make sure the pedestrian got the necessary care so that the pedestrians injuries would not be worsened by the pedestrian not getting the care needed to recover from the injuries. At trial, the jury ruled in favor of the pedestrian, concluding that the accident was 100% the fault of the driver. The jury found that the accident had caused the pedestrian to experience $5,000 worth of pain and suffering in addition to the $10,000 cost of the pedestrians medical care. The case is governed by the tort law of a state that adheres to traditional common-law rules about collateral sources of compensation. What amount is the pedestrian entitled to collect from the drivers insurance company?
