Walsh v. Mid-South Transport, Inc.
Date of Accident: January 9, 2001

An 80,000 pound tractor trailer crossed the center line and struck the van head-on, killing two grandparents who were driving to a doctor appointment.

The grandparents' family hired John Simon of The Simon Law Firm.  Based on their thorough investigation, these attorneys proved that the truck driver had 230 separate violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations in the ten months he had been employed by the trucking company.

At a deposition conducted by John Simon, the driver’s employer admitted that information in its own files would have justified firing this driver six months before the collision. The trucking company settled the family’s claim for $10,000,000.00.
