$500,000: Wrongful Death Case – Child

Wrongful Death

We represented the parents of a two-year-old girl who was killed when she was run over by a van. The defendants argued that they were not negligent because the defendant driver could not see the girl when he got in his van, and assumed that her mother or the other adults present were watching her. We were able to recreate what the defendant should have seen using state of the art testing and were able to prove that he was at fault. The case settled on the first day of trial because the parents wanted to put the litigation behind them and avoid the emotional impact of trial.
