This accident occurred in Lawrence County, Alabama. Our client was returning home from work when a tractor trailer driver hauling logs lost control, overturned, and the logs broke loose from the trailed striking our clients truck. Our client was killed on impact.
We were hired by the family of the deceased driver and immediately filed suit against the truck driver and the owner of the tractor trailer truck. After completing initial discovery, the insurance carrier for the defendant tendered their insurance policy limits of $1,000,000.
