CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT FOR PEDESTRIAN FATALITY

 

A pedestrian was struck and killed while walking along a rural unlit highway. The offending driver blamed the pedestrian for wearing dark clothing. Our firm investigated the case and demonstrated that the offending driver was inattentive and traveling too fast on the roadway. Following our investigation, the case was successfully resolved for a confidential amount on behalf of the pedestrian's surviving family.  

SETTLEMENT OBTAINED IN FATAL LOG TRUCK ACCIDENT

Michael Thorpe was operating his pickup truck eastbound on Interstate 16 on December 3, 2013.  At the same time, a log truck operated on behalf of Kenswood Farm Services, LLC was traveling eastbound.  The log truck pulled into the path of another oncoming vehicle causing it to collide with a guardrail and then strike Mr. Thorpe’s pickup truck.  This collision caused Mr. Thorpe’s pick-up to flip several times, ejecting him from his vehicle.   Mr. Thorpe sustained fatal injuries as a result of this accident.
