Case Details
A tow truck operator was killed when an 18-wheeler drifted onto the shoulder where the operator was working. The defendant claimed the tow truck operator was at fault and only offered $50,000 before trial. The firm persuaded a federal jury to award just over $6,000,000. The defendant appealed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals but settled shortly after the Crain Brogdon, LLP filed its appellate brief defending the verdict. Of note, the defendant only had $2,000,000 in insurance, but creative lawyering obligated the insurance company to pay three times their contractual obligation.
