$36 Million Motor Vehicle Crash Due to Corporate Negligence
Confidential
After extensive litigation, Cunningham Bounds obtained a $36 Million settlement for a Mobile County resident who was severely and permanently injured in a motor vehicle crash.
On behalf of its client, Cunningham Bounds disclosed 8 expert witnesses, conducted 27 depositions across the United States, and retained a computer forensics provider to unearth critical emails that the Defendant had withheld from production. These efforts ultimately proved not only that the crash was caused by the defendant corporation’s employee but also that the corporation knowingly ignored multiple safety risks in order to advance its business interests.
“Our client’s life-changing injuries were 100% preventable. No one should have to suffer because of a company’s calculated decision to put profits over safety,” said Robert Mitchell, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiff. “This settlement provides a measure of justice for the immense hardship that our client has endured, and it guarantees that she’ll have the resources she needs for ongoing care.”
As a result of the crash, the plaintiff has undergone extensive medical treatment, numerous hospitalizations, and ongoing rehabilitation. While no amount of money can restore the life she once had, this settlement will help provide for long-term medical care and financial security as she adapts to a new reality.
Cunningham Bounds remains committed to holding negligent parties accountable and advocating for those whose lives have been devastated by preventable tragedies.
