Jeff Rickard settled a significant car wreck case in which an elderly man died and his daughter was seriously injured – she suffered fractures of the hip, pelvis, ribs and neck. The accident occurred in northeast Alabama when another vehicle crashed into the rear of their vehicle, knocking it off the road and into a culvert headwall. The driver who hit our client’s car was a cable technician; the cable company claimed he was an independent contractor and refused to accept responsibility for his actions.
Jeff was able to win the legal argument on this issue. He also secured a cellular data analysis expert who opined that the driver was using his smartphone to access the cable company’s web-based data before and during the time of the collision.
These recoveries and testimonials are not an indication of future results. Every case is different, and regardless of what friends, family or other individuals may say about what a case is worth, each case must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances as they apply to the law. The valuation of a case depends on the facts, the injuries, the jurisdiction, the venue, the witnesses, the parties, and the testimony, among other factors. Furthermore, no representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
