Attorneys Shalimar Wallis and Oscar Quiroz, along with their team, secured a $8,500,000 settlement on behalf of a family whose lives were forever changed when a negligent tractor-trailer driver crossed into their lane.
The defendant, a driver of the commercial truck, was talking on his cell phone when his tire had a blowout. The driver failed to respond as he was trained, causing a devastating collision with our clients’ vehicle. The clients endured over a dozen surgeries, a traumatic brain injury, a cervical fusion, and permanent disabilities that have altered their lives forever.
Through a thorough investigation, our team uncovered a disturbing pattern of falsified driver logs, Hours of Service violations, and a complete failure to supervise and train its driver. Armed with critical ECM data, deposition testimony, a powerful fleet expert, and a tire that suffered a severe manufacturing defect, Shalimar, Oscar, and their team built an overwhelming case that left the defense with no option but to settle with our client.
We are proud of our team’s commitment to fighting for victims of corporate negligence. Through their relentless preparation and expertise, our clients were able to obtain justice. Well done, team!
