OUTCOME: Amended during trial to Negligent Driving First Degree
We went to trial on a DUI charge but it was amended to Negligent Driving First Degree during trial. The State had refused to reduce the charge below a DUI pre-trial.
OUTCOME: Defendant Not Guilty
My client was found Not Guilty in the first jury trial in Washington under what is known as "Maria's Law," which makes failure to secure a load a crime if someone is injured by the falling load. It wa ... s alleged that the defendant, a truck driver by trade, had failed to secure a strap winch on his semi trailer, causing it to fly off and killing the driver of a passing car. After a two day trial the jury unanimously agreed that the defendant was not guilty of any crime.
OUTCOME: Verdict for Plaintiff for full amount sought.
I represented the plaintiff in a jury trial for injuries she received when struck by a car while crossing a street. The insurance company refused to pay a reasonable amount for her injuries so we went ... to trial. After 4 days of testimony it took the jury only 45 minutes to award my client every penny that I requested. This amount exceeded the limits of the insurance policy but the insurance company paid the full amount of the jury's award.
