Roll-Over Case Settled In Montgomery

Our firm recently settled a case involving an SUV rollover that occurred in Montgomery County, Alabama. Our clients’ son was on his way home to Prattville after taking his final exam at AUM. This fine young man attempted to dodge a ladder that had been dropped in the roadway on I-85. Because of the instability of the SUV, the vehicle rolled over and, although he was wearing his seatbelt, our clients’ son suffered fatal head injuries as a result of the rollover. Claims were made against the SUV manufacturer and the seatbelt manufacturer for the vehicle’s instability, seatbelt design, and window glazing design. The case was settled for a confidential amount. The owner of the ladder was never located, even though exhaustive investigative efforts were undertaken. The case was handled for our firm by Greg Allen.
