Description: In a recent landmark case, our expert Georgia Trucking Injury Lawyer secured a $2.6 million settlement for our client in the Confidential v Ga. DOT lawsuit. The case, tried in the Superior Court of Randolph County, focused on a tragic incident involving a tractor-trailer and the plaintiff’s car at an intersection just outside Cuthbert, Georgia.

The intersection’s poor sight distance for the plaintiff’s direction resulted in a collision, leading to devastating consequences. The plaintiff, a surviving widow of 40 years, lost her husband, and she suffered from multiple broken bones and a slight brain injury in the accident.

Our legal team filed a lawsuit against the Georgia Department of Transportation (Ga. DOT) for a design defect at the intersection, arguing that it contributed to the collision. The defense presented three experts, while our side had one expert supporting the plaintiff’s case.

The black box data revealed that the tractor-trailer involved in the accident was speeding, further strengthening our case against the DOT. Despite the tragic circumstances, our relentless pursuit of justice led to a favorable outcome for our client.

The jury, recognizing the negligence and liability involved, awarded our client $2.6 million in damages. Notably, the verdict included $2.2 million for the surviving widow and $695,000 for the wrongful death.
