Jeff Rickard settled a significant car wreck case in which an elderly man died and his daughter was seriously injured. She suffered fractures of the hip, pelvis, ribs and neck. The accident occurred in northeast Alabama when another vehicle crashed into the rear of their vehicle knocking it off the road and into a culvert headwall.
The driver who hit our client’s car was a cable technician; the cable company claimed he was an independent contractor and refused to accept responsibility for his actions. Jeff was able to win the legal argument on this issue. He also secured a cellular data analysis expert who opined that the driver was using his smartphone to access the cable company’s web-based data before and during the time of the collision.
