Jury Awards Damages To Truck Accident Victim

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

A Tennessee jury awarded $6.65 million in damages recently to the mother of a 17-year-old girl who died in a tractor-trailer accident. Lindsey Garretson was killed August 8, 2000 when a truck driven by Stuart Foy slammed into the back of her car on Interstate 40. Foy failed to slow the tractor-trailer, owned by KLLM Transport Services Inc., when vehicles began braking to avoid a mattress that had fallen off another truck.  Plaintiff attorneys argued that Foy should never have been employed by KLLM due to his record of reckless driving and several accidents.

If you have been injured by a drunk driver, it is vital that you contact one of our Hartford personal injury lawyers as soon as possible.  Why? - because not only is the drunk driver liable for your injuries and losses, but the establishment that served the alcohol to the drunk driver.  You have 120 days to put the dram shop on written notice of your intention of filing a claim against it.  If written notice is not given within the 120 days, you will be prohibited from bringing a dram shop claim against the establishment.

The Connecticut trial lawyers at Sabatini and Associates, LLC routinely represent clients involved in probate litigation.  The most common dispute is a will contest.

The lawyers at Sabatini and Associates, LLC have experience in drafting, interpreting, and administering wills, as well as handling the lawsuits that arise surrounding these documents. We have successfully represented clients contesting wills and have successfully defended estates in will contests

Probate litigation can also arise in cases of fiduciary negligence by a personal representative, guardian, or trustee. When a person in one of these positions takes actions for their own interests instead of the person they are representing, they have committed a breach of fiduciary duty. We represent clients in cases asserting fiduciary negligence.  If you have a probate matter, contact one of our Connecticut probate litigation lawyers.
