Case Details
ELPO represented a mother and two young children who were traveling on I-65. A tractor trailer struck their car, causing it to overturn and trap them. The mother’s fiancé, who was driving, was killed. Extensive discovery revealed the truck driver was improperly trained and violated Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The trucking company failed to investigate the driver's history, which included multiple violations. The clients sustained minor physical injuries but unimaginable psychological trauma. ELPO demonstrated the severity of their injuries through expert testimony and psychiatric medical treatment.
Additional Notes
Provisions were made to provide the children with financial security well into their adult years.
