Severe Burn Verdict

Severe Burn Verdict

Our client was grievously injured when the dump truck in which he was a passenger fell 30 feet off a bridge into a creek bed below.  The truck burst into flames, killing the driver, and caused severe burns to our client, who endured months of painful burn treatment, skin grafts, and reconstructive surgery.

Before an off-duty policeman was able to pull him to safety, our client was trapped in the wreckage while the flames slowly consumed the lower half of his body.  We were able to prove in court the bridge rail was defective and that the state agency responsible for the rail was at fault.
