Wrongful Death - Commercial Vehicle - Multi-vehicle Collision

$1,685,000 Settlement

The plaintiff sustained life-threatening injuries in a five-car collision caused by a company truck driver. The company alleged that the driver had been terminated prior to the wreck; however, evidence revealed the company negligently hired the driver despite his criminal history and poor driving record. Further investigation showed the company also negligently trained and supervised the driver by allowing him to operate while fatigued and in violation of federal hours-of-service regulations. Additionally, the company failed to retain and produce documents required by federal law. Through extensive litigation, MFGarza uncovered damaging evidence the company attempted to conceal.

Ride Share Collision

$650,000 Settlement

A rideshare driver caused an auto-pedestrian collision while attempting to pick up a fare, resulting in severe injuries to the plaintiff that required extensive medical treatment, including future surgery. Due to the injuries sustained in the accident, the plaintiff was medically discharged from the military. MFGarza worked closely with the plaintiff’s military commanders and personnel to gather critical evidence demonstrating the plaintiff’s loss of future income and military pension benefits.

DUI - Underinsured Motorist Case

$1,025,000 Settlement

The defendant ran a red light at a high rate of speed and violently T-boned the plaintiffs’ vehicle. Following the crash, the defendant was arrested for DUI and admitted to being under the influence of multiple substances at the time of the collision. MFGarza coordinated with law enforcement and prosecutors to obtain critical evidence supporting the plaintiffs’ case. During litigation, the plaintiffs’ underinsured motorist carrier attempted to dispute the extent of the damages by retaining medical experts. However, after multiple depositions and court hearings, the underinsured motorist carrier ultimately tendered the full policy limits before trial.

Trucking Settlement

$1,950,000 Settlement

The client suffered severe injuries that required multiple surgeries after a collision involving a disabled company vehicle on a highway while the client was acting within the scope of employment. Although the investigating officer initially determined the client was at fault, further investigation revealed the truck driver involved in the crash was not wearing his required corrective lenses and was using his phone at the time of the wreck. Evidence also showed the trucking company maintained a no-cell-phone policy but was aware the driver had been using his phone while operating the vehicle. Additionally, the company knew the driver had violated federal regulations by failing to properly log required on-duty hours prior to the collision. Following expert depositions and extensive litigation, MFG obtained a favorable settlement for the client.

Construction Zone Car Collision with Heavy Earth Moving Equipment

$3,000,000 Settlement

The client was traveling at night when a truck driver and heavy equipment operator failed to erect proper signage and lighting near a work zone, creating extremely dangerous roadway conditions. As a result, the client struck heavy equipment at a high rate of speed and sustained life-threatening injuries that required multiple surgeries. During litigation, MFG discovered that the heavy equipment operator had not been properly trained to operate the machinery involved in the incident. Further investigation revealed that the construction and trucking company, along with the truck driver and heavy equipment operator, failed to comply with applicable traffic laws, OSHA regulations, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSA). The company was also found to have violated its own internal safety policies. After several expert depositions and extensive litigation, MFG secured a successful settlement for the client.

Premises Liability at Apartment Complex

$1,950,000 Settlement

The client suffered severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries after a collision involving a disabled company vehicle on a highway while acting within the scope of employment. Although the investigating officer initially concluded the client was at fault for the crash, further investigation revealed the truck driver involved was not wearing his required corrective lenses and was using his phone at the time of the wreck. Evidence also showed the trucking company had a strict no-cell-phone policy but knowingly allowed the driver to continue using his phone while operating the vehicle. In addition, the company was aware the driver had violated federal regulations by failing to properly log required on-duty hours prior to the collision. Following expert depositions and extensive litigation, MFG secured a favorable settlement for the client.

Construction Zone Car Collision with Heavy Earth Moving Equipment

$3,000,000 Settlement

The client was traveling at night when a truck driver and heavy equipment operator failed to install proper signage and lighting near a work zone, creating hazardous roadway conditions. As a result, the client collided with heavy equipment at a high rate of speed and sustained life-threatening injuries that required multiple surgeries. During the lawsuit, MFG uncovered evidence that the heavy equipment operator had not been properly trained to operate the machinery involved in the incident. Further investigation revealed that the construction and trucking company, truck driver, and heavy equipment operator failed to comply with traffic laws, OSHA regulations, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSA). The company was also found to have violated its own internal safety policies. After several expert depositions and extensive litigation, MFG obtained a successful settlement for the client.

Trucking Settlement

$2,100,000 Settlement

The client suffered severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries after a collision involving a truck driver and trucking company based in a foreign country. The truck driver claimed he did not see the client’s vehicle and fled back to his home country shortly after the wreck. Soon after the incident, the trucking company also changed its company name in an apparent attempt to avoid liability. Through the use of international law and extensive litigation efforts, MFG successfully pursued claims against both the truck driver and the foreign trucking company. During the case, MFG uncovered evidence showing the company violated United States laws and failed to properly hire, retain, train, and supervise its drivers. As a result of these efforts, MFG obtained a favorable settlement for the client prior to trial.
