Schmidt v. Shifflett/Pepsi

N/A

OUTCOME: Large Settlement

This was a tragic injury trucking case where a semi truck driver for Pepsi was using his cell phone while driving in rural New Mexico and struck our client who was working on a highway striping crew. ... Evan drafted every pleading in the case and successfully got multiple expert witnesses for the Defense thrown out. He also won a motion on spoliation (destruction of evidence) regarding the driver's cell phone. These important rulings handed down just weeks before trial finally brought Defendants to the table for settlement negotiations.
