Tractor-Trailer Case:

Our clients’ son was killed on his way home from work when a truck driver lost control of his rig and ran into the footing of an overhead sign, which fell on her son’s vehicle. Through extensive investigation, the firm proved that the truck lost control due to improper loading of material. Our firm took this case to trial, during which the driver and trucking company paid their insurance limits of $1 million and the jury awarded over $1.7 million to our clients.
