Proven Results In Trucking Accidents
Over the past four years, Miller, Curtis and Weisbrod has recovered nearly $40 million for their clients in cases involving either tractor-trailers or other commercially-owned vehicles. The key to the success has been an early and vigorous investigation followed by aggressive litigation and trial strategy.Our most recent significant recovery was a $5.8 million dollar settlement reached during trial against a large trucking company. In that case, early involvement of our firm allowed for an investigation that secured the facts to clearly establish negligence on the trucking company and truck driver. Over the next twelve months, intensive discovery was undertaken by our firm. At trial, our preparation allowed us to present documentary evidence that was clearly contradictory with the truck-driver's logs. When confronted with these documents, while on the witness stand, the truck driver admitted (for the first time) that he had falsified his logs and that this led to a lack of sleep that caused the wreck. Additional testimony from the company safety director established a pattern of turning a blind-eye to fatigue and speed with regard to its drivers. When faced with this trial testimony, the company's insurance carriers increased their offer by 600% and met our demand.
Other recoveries involving either tractor-trailers or other commercially-owned vehicles, include:
