$ 5 Million Dollar Win Highway 68o …Truck v. Motorcycle
Our detailed case preparation means that accident cases settle before they go to trial. In a case involving a truck crossing from a freeway onramp taken by mistake and back to Highway 680, we were able to establish that this truck driver had been booted from another trucking company as he failed their internal driving test. We were able to establish negligence in both the unsafe driving conduct and negligence on the part of the trucking company in hiring this driver. We represented the wife and children of the motorcyclist who was killed in the crash and despite the fact that his occupation was “professional gambler”.
We were able get a settlement for over $ 5 million dollars avoiding a lengthy trial.
