$262,500 Settlement
Rear-end collision caused by the inebriated and exhausted driver of a box truck for his employer, resulting in minor physical injuries and anxiety to our client, with special damages (medical bills and lost wages) under $3,000.00. Two weeks prior to this collision, the driver had wrecked another box truck for the same employer. On behalf of our client, we brought a lawsuit for both compensatory and punitive damages. The defendants asked the Court to dismiss the claims for punitive damages, but we successfully argued that they should be allowed to proceed. In the end, the case settled for $262,500.00.
