Truck Accident ~ Wrongful Death

Attorney: Harris S. Feldman
Settlement: $350,000.
Summer 2009

Harris Feldman represented the estate of a young man who was killed when his car was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a truck. Our client was killed when an inexperienced and untrained truck driver abruptly cut into his lane of travel from the shoulder.

The initial police investigation determined that our client was at fault for the accident. However, working with an accident reconstructionist Mr. Feldman established that the police investigation was incorrect. Also, during litigation, Harris uncovered the fact that the defendant driver was never properly trained by his employer to drive a large commercial vehicle, and, that when the accident occurred the defendant’s license was suspended.

Mr. Feldman also identified the fact that the defendant driver’s employer had violated several important Federal and State trucking laws which made them liable for the accident as well. Even though it was clear the plaintiff was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the accident, Harris Feldman was able to settle this case for $350,000.00 one month before trial.
