Our client’s driver was traveling on a three-lane highway when the plaintiff ran out from alongside the highway. The driver was unable to avoid and fatally struck the plaintiff. The file handler completed in-depth background and social media checks and an investigation that revealed the plaintiff suffered from years of alcohol and drug abuse.
While liability was favorable, it was also discovered that our client’s driver was over his hours of service. Through an aggressive investigation and negotiations, the file handler was able to resolve the case via direct negotiations without the client incurring any legal expenses.
