Case Details
Our client was a passenger in a SUV traveling south on Route 95 near Woburn, Massachusetts. He was on his way to a construction job. A second vehicle veered into the lane of a third vehicle and slammed into it, propelling the third vehicle into the SUV of our client. The SUV flipped over. Tragically, our client died. He left a wife and several children.
Additional Notes
After collecting all available auto and worker’s compensation insurance of about $460,000.00, Attorney Perrault turned his sites on the methadone clinic which had serviced the at fault driver that morning. We alleged that the clinic was negligent in failing to adequately test the at fault driver for illicit drugs in his system, yet still provided him with his daily dose of Methadone. This, we alleged, led to his falling asleep at the wheel and causing the fatal crash in question. Ultimately, the methadone clinic paid a settlement of $500,000.00 - for a total recovery by the family of about $960,000.00. This “methadone clinic” claim was one of the first such claims in Massachusetts history.
