Jury verdict for the daughter of a driver who died when he drove his van into the trailer of a semi-truck that had parked in the middle of I-294. Our investigation uncovered that the semi-truck driver maintained false logbooks, had been driving well in excess of his allowed hours and had left his vehicle unattended in the middle of the highway without setting out warning triangles or flares. Before the trial began, the trucking company offered only $110,000 to settle – mainly because the daughter lived in Ecuador and was unable to get a visa to visit the USA. Attorney Steve Saks flew down to Ecuador and presented the daughter’s video testimony from the US Embassy in Quito. After a trial lasting over a week, the jury quickly rendered a verdict in favor of our client.
