Family v. Trucking Corp

In Family v. Trucking Corp. (confidential settlement) Michael A. Kelly, Richard H. Schoenberger and Jeffrey A. Clause negotiated an eight-figure confidential settlement on behalf of the survivors of a mother and daughter killed in a head-on crash on a rural highway. The mother and daughter were seat-belted and travelling at the speed limit when the defendant’s big rig crossed the center line in a no passing zone. The broker of the load denied liability, attributing all of the fault to the employer of the driver. Mike, Rich and Jeff sought to impose liability on the broker for failing to screen its contractor.
