$500,000 settlement – death of passenger

Large trucks present serious risks to everyone on the road.  When truckers make mistakes, the consequences are catastrophic.  When trucking crashes occur in Florida, you can always be sure that someone will be injured or killed. That’s just what happened to this client’s loved one.

John Elliott Leighton represented the family of a woman killed by a negligently operated truck.  She did not have any children or a spouse. Mr. Leighton obtained the full limits of the trucking insurance for the benefit of the woman’s family, which totaled $500,000.  Estate of Maria Hernandez.
