Trucking Collision – Confidential Settlement Amount
A young man was riding to town with his family, when their car was struck by an 18 wheeler on the highway. The family’s vehicle spun out of control, and the young man was killed. The truck driver and trucking company denied any wrongdoing, instead claiming the family was at fault for the crash. After investigating, Ramey discovered that the 18 wheeler in question had been recently inspected and found to have serious mechanical issues. It should not have been on the road at the time of the crash. Likewise, he determined that the driver and company had violated numerous federal safety regulations designed to prevent crashes such as this one. The trucking company ultimately entered into a settlement agreement with the family members, rather than face a jury.
