WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL TRUCK ACCIDENT

We represented the family of a woman who was killed in a commercial truck accident. The case was complex, due to the fact there were multiple defendants whose carelessness led to the woman's death. However, using our stable of expert witnesses, we painted a clear picture of who was to blame for the crash that compelled the defendants to seek a resolution to the case on terms our clients found acceptable.

BRAIN INJURY / 3RD-PARTY DRAM SHOP

We represented a family who suffered catastrophic injuries after they were struck by a drunk driver who was nearly three times the legal limit to operate a vehicle. During the course of the investigation, we discovered that the drunk driver in question had been unlawfully served by two different restaurants prior to the crash. Despite initial resistance from the restaurants, we were able to show that they broke the law and their actions led directly to the events that caused a mother to lose an eye and her son to suffer a life-altering brain injury. As a result, both restaurants agreed to settle the case for an amount that satisfied our clients.

WRONGFUL DEATH / 3RD-PARTY DRAM SHOP

Our firm litigated on behalf of a family whose vehicle was struck by a drunk driver, who was 2 and 1/2 the times the legal limit to drive. As a result of the accident, a father lost his life, while his wife and two children suffered life-altering investigation. During our investigation, we discovered that the drunk driver had left a bar 15 minutes prior to the crash. While the bar denied any wrongdoing, we were able to amass a mountain of evidence, including drink receipts and testimony from witnesses drinking with the intoxicated driver. At the end of the day, the defendants saw the writing on the wall and came to terms with the family.

WRONGFUL DEATH / 1ST-PARTY DRAM SHOP

The family of a man who passed away as a result of alcohol overserviced contacted our firm to investigate whether or not their loved one was unlawfully overserved prior to his death. It seemed clear to us from the start that someone likely screwed up. For starters, at the time of the man's accident his blood alcohol content was more than twice the legal limit in Texas. We tracked down the alcohol provider who had served the man prior to the crash. Despite some initial resistance on the alcohol provider's part, we were able to resolve the case to our clients' satisfaction.

WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT

Following a fatal 18-wheeler accident, the family of a deceased woman hired Grossman Law Offices to investigate the matter and report our findings. The family initially knew very little about what happened in the accident, only that the mother of the family was killed and that there was an 18-wheeler involved. Our attorneys mobilized immediately upon being hired, and, along with our accident reconstructionist, conducted a thorough analysis of the scene. Early in the case, it became apparent what had happened: The driver of an 18-wheeler made an abrupt lane change, forcing our client's car into the grass median of the interstate. Once the vehicle drove into the grass, traction was lost, causing the car to swerve back onto the highway wherein the vehicle then struck a parked 18-wheeler. It was obvious that our clients had a case, and they instructed us to move forward with a wrongful death suit. However, what was less clear is which trucking company was primarily responsible. On one hand, it could be argued that the initial 18-wheeler set the whole chain of events into motion when that driver made an illegal lane change. On the other hand, the second 18-wheeler was illegally parked in an emergency lane, in violation of federal statute, and it could easily be said that if he had not been parked there, the victim would have lived since the car would have just been able to come to a stop on the road's shoulder. Naturally, this fact pattern created an opportunity for the two trucking companies to point the finger at one another. Our attorneys aggressively litigated the case, never allowing either defendant to escape responsibility for their contribution to the accident. Further, it would be a monumental understatement to suggest that this case took a lot of effort to successfully resolve. Our attorneys took the depositions of dozens of people involved, travelling to several different states in the process. Further, we invested many hundreds of hours of man power into the case. Our philosophy was simple: if we allow the defendants a moment to catch their breath, they will treat the case as less of a priority. So, from the very beginning until the the case was resolved, we made sure that no time passed from one milestone to the next. Eventually, the defendants relented and the case was resolved on the courthouse steps. From start to finish, a case that ordinarily would take most firms years to litigated, was resolved in 13 months, due entirely to our attorneys' diligence.

WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT

Our attorneys were hired to pursue a wrongful death truck accident case following a fatal wreck in West Texas. This case was certainly important to our firm, the same as any other wrongful death case, but it took on a new level of significance because of the horrific injustice that almost occurred thanks to a botched police investigation. As we ultimately learned from analyzing the physical evidence and from talking to numerous witnesses who all told the same story, the accident occurred as a large oilfield truck entered I-20, immediately cutting across multiple lanes and into the "fast lane," wherein this truck forced a small passenger car off of the roadway and into oncoming traffic, causing a fatal head-on collision. As if that was not bad enough, the truck driver then fled the scene. However, the police report told a completely different (and utterly inaccurate) story. Essentially, the police made it sound like the deceased passenger car driver (our clients' father) just arbitrarily left the roadway and crashed into the other vehicle, killing himself in the process. The family thought that did not sound right, and they brought us into the case soon after the accident, which proved to be one of the most important decisions they ever made. Since we were able to conduct a thorough investigation while the evidence was still available, we were able to identify that the police figured the accident all wrong. Our research soon led us to eye witnesses to the accident. Said witnesses, an entire family sharing a minivan, all saw the same thing. They explained how the driver of the commercial vehicle ran the other car off the road and then fled, but they also explained how they pursued the commercial truck driver and took down his license plate information. Once the driver realized they were following them, he tried to run them too off the road. These witnesses then helped us identify other witnesses who were at the scene, and as more and more good Samaritans came forward, we were able to completely dispel the "official" version of what happened in the accident. Nevertheless, since the police report ultimately showed an inaccurate fact pattern, the defendants were emboldened, and they denied liability in the case for many months. Eventually, we uncovered evidence that showed that the truck driver A) had worked nearly 80 hours in five days, B) was likely on drugs at the time of the accident, C) had attempted to tamper with witness testimony, and D) that he likely conspired with his employer to cover his tracks. Once we got this evidence under the spotlight, the defendants accepted responsibility, and the case was resolved soon thereafter.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY / THIRD-PARTY DRAM

We were hired by the family of a young man who suffered a life-altering traumatic brain injury due to a car wreck. The incident occurred after the young man left a bar where he had been over-served. The defendants took the position that there was no proof that he was obviously intoxicated at the time that they served him. After a protracted legal battle, we were able to obtain video footage which showed the young man on the premises in an intoxicated state. The defendants then argued that the volume of alcohol they sold him was insignificant. We successfully argued that the law does not hold them liable when they serve too much alcohol. Rather, it holds them liable when they serve any amount of alcohol to someone whom they can tell is obviously intoxicated, irrespective of where the alcohol came from. The court agreed with our interpretation, and the matter was resolved soon thereafter.

WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT

Our firm was hired after a woman lost her husband of 10 years, due to the carelessness of a truck driver. Our client's husband, a truck driver himself, was killed when the driver of a different tractor trailer failed to yield the right of way and cut him off, forcing the decedent to collide into the trailer of the other rig. Our client was absolutely devastated by the loss of her husband. She not only suffered severe emotional distress, she also endured financial upheaval, because her husband was the sole breadwinner. Despite being entirely in the wrong, the defendants tried to invoke several "novel" defense theories to downplay their liability. Our attorneys were able to defeat these arguments, early on in the case, and the defendants were left with only one viable argument: the victim was not wearing his seatbelt. This was a fallacious argument for two reasons; One, the damage to the victim's tractor was so severe that no one could conclusively determine whether he was wearing his seatbelt or not; Second, because of the severity of the impact, wearing a seatbelt would have made no difference. In order to refute this argument, we took a two-pronged approach. We hired a medical doctor who provided an opinion to dispel the myth that the decent would have survived had he being wearing his seatbelt. And more importantly, we filed the case in a venue where evidence about seatbelt usage was inadmissible. After a few rounds of depositions that did not go well for the defendants, they came to the table and offered to mediate. The case was settled at mediation. Prior to his passing, the decedent worked very hard to provide for his family, so that his wife did not have to work, and would be able to pursue her dream of a college education. Resolving this case favorably helped our client see this dream come true.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY / THIRD-PARTY DRAM

A woman was struck at an intersection by an intoxicated driver, who ran a stop sign. As a result of the collision, this woman suffered a traumatic brain injury. In the aftermath of the crash, her family hired our firm to investigate where the drunk driver was drinking prior to the crash. We discovered that at the time leading up the crash, the drunk had been overserve by a licensed alcohol provider. What's more, the drunk driver was apparently served to the point that they were 3.5 times the legal limit to drive. Armed with this evidence, we were able to resolve the case in a way that provided for our client's significant medical needs.

WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL VEHICLE

Our firm was contacted by an out-of-state attorney who represented the family of a Georgia man who was killed while in Texas. The lawyer explained that the man lost his life in an 18-wheeler accident, and the family had tasked the lawyer with finding a firm in Texas to represent them. After extensive research, the attorney selected our firm. Now, there was a major problem with the case: the police report put the victim 100% at fault for the wreck. The police claimed that he was speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, and ultimately killed himself when he ran his motorcycle into the back of an 18-wheeler. The referring attorney explained that the family didn't believe that the decedent would be so reckless and that something must be wrong with the police report. We explained to the referring attorney that we would be glad to look into it, but we would drop the matter if the evidence corroborated the police report, since we're not in the business of pursuing frivolous cases. He understood and agreed. We soon began to suspect that the police report was wrong. We spoke to the witnesses whom the police report claimed had seen the decedent riding his motorcycle recklessly. They all said that the police misquoted them or flat-out made up what was in the report. Case in point, one gentleman, himself a tractor trailer driver, was quoted in the police report as saying that the victim sped by at twice the speed limit. The witness said that was all wrong. What he actually told the police, he insisted, was that the witness passed going twice as fast as he (the witness) was, only the witness was driving a heavy vehicle and was therefore only going about half the speed limit. So, the motorcyclist wasn't going fast, the witness was going slow. We continued to get testimony from other witnesses, and they all said the same thing: the investigating officer misquoted them. We soon learned that the officer who made the report wasn't actually the one who spoke to the witnesses. He sent a rookie officers to get statements from the witnesses and then relied on the rookie's notes to make his report. Something got lost in translation, apparently. To his credit, when we deposed the officer and presented him with our findings, he was honorable, admitted his mistake, and changed his official position. But this still left one problem unsolved. Even if the motorcyclist wasn't speeding or riding recklessly, he still crashed into the back of an 18-wheeler, so how would that be anyone's fault but his own. Unfortunately for the trucking company, the 18-wheeler involved in the wreck had a sophisticated GPS device installed, and we were able to use the authority of the court to obtain the device's data. This particular GPS hardware would record the truck's position once every ten seconds and then store it internally. Armed with this GPS data, we were able to map out the truck driver's path. As it turned out, the truck driver had lied under oath about how the accident happened. He claimed that he drove down a long road that connected a sporting goods store's parking lot to a highway access road, came to a stop at the end of the road for several seconds, and then slowly turned onto a lane that soon merged into the flow of traffic. Then, all of a sudden, the motorcyclist hit him from behind. The GPS data showed that this was all a lie. What actually happened is that he came flying down the connecting road, blew through the stop sign, and then turned immediately into traffic, not into the lane that merged with traffic. In short, he cut the motorcyclist off, and the motorcyclist couldn't avoid hitting the 18-wheeler. The trucking company's accident reconstructionist originally defended the truck driver's story. But when we showed him the GPS data and how it showed a ping which located the truck about 200 feet from the intersection and then pinged again (ten seconds later) at the point of impact, the trucking company's own expert was forced to agree that there's no way the truck driver would've had time to cover that distance and come to a stop in ten seconds, meaning he must have ran the stop sign. The trucking company soon settled with our clients. While this was not the biggest case we've ever had, it demonstrates what our attorneys are capable of. Unquestionably, most attorneys would have given up as soon as they saw a police report that was problematic. But we followed the evidence and were ultimately able to help our clients obtain fair compensation for their loss.

WRONGFUL DEATH / PRODUCT LIABILITY ACCIDENT

In this case, we represented the family of a middle-aged woman who was killed in a car accident. The incident occurred as another vehicle struck the car that the decedent was a passenger in head-on on the passenger side. The impact resulted in catastrophic injuries which claimed the life of the decedent. Our attorneys were hired soon after the accident and we launched a full investigation. Through the course of our investigation, it was soon determined that the head-on collision was caused by a failed component in the defendant's vehicle (the particulars of which cannot be elaborated upon per the resolution agreement). Suit was filed against the manufacturer of said component and litigation commenced. The case was successfully resolved through litigation.

WRONGFUL DEATH / COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT

An elderly man was killed when a criminally negligent truck driver rear ended his vehicle as the man yielded the right of way to other traffic. Throughout the course of litigation the defendants fought to deny liability. Through our diligent investigative efforts we unearthed damning evidence and mounted an aggressive litigation strategy. Arguments were so persuasive that by the conclusion of litigation the defendant's attorneys acquiesced wholly with regard to liability.
