The Facts of the Case
Mr. Singh, a loving husband and father of three, was a videographer who relocated his family from Italy to the U.S. in 2016. He became a long-distance truck driver to support his family.
On the date of the accident, Mr. Singh was driving on I-635 West when his truck began to malfunction. He moved to the right shoulder to park his truck and examine the source of the mechanical issues. Shortly thereafter, a truck driver employed by the defendant collided with Mr. Singh's truck, resulting in fatal injuries to Mr. Singh. Zehl & Associates presented video evidence showing how other vehicles were able to avoid the truck, including another truck driver.
Zehl & Associates presented extensive evidence from video depositions and other sources to the jury. Our trial team also utilized an accident reconstructionist who explained the circumstances surrounding the crash based on the damage to the vehicles and their positions. We also brought in an emergency medical doctor who detailed the pain and suffering Mr. Singh experienced in the last 15 to 20 minutes before he died.
The Verdict
After deliberations, the jury found the defendant 84% liable for Mr. Singh's death. The final judgment for the family of Mr. Singh will be approximately $37.5 million. This verdict was over 7x higher than the defendant's $5 million pre-trial settlement offer.
Zehl & Associates remains undefeated in personal injury and truck accident cases. We are extremely proud to recover yet another eight-figure monetary award for a deserving client. Our personal injury lawyers have recovered billions in verdicts and settlements, including record-breaking awards. Our team has proven that it is willing to take on the largest trucking corporations and insurance companies - and win.
