Contested case where our client struck cargo that was not securely fastened to a flatbed trailer. Suit was filed after legal liability was denied by the legal representatives of a tractor trailer driver.

Conservative recovery but a result we are very proud of. Our employee referred this client who had a shoulder injury.

Highest pre-trial offer was $5,000.00. Jury awarded the full amount requested plus we also collected court costs and 8% interest on the verdict.
