Gertie will not be punished by the court as it was not Gertie's fault for William's injury.

In the context, we see that William was busy texting on his phone when he was walking on the road and he got hit by the oncoming truck.

William should obey the traffic rules and should follow and take precaution while in the street.

His negligence on the street had caused this accident.

Gertie was not obliged to warn him and asked him to be attentive and cautious for any oncoming vehicle on the road.

So when William was badly injured he sued Gertie for his accident, the court gave the result in Gertie's favor and did not punish Gertie.
