Derrick Mills and Jane Mauzy won a $500,000 jury verdict for a client who was badly hurt while on-the-job. The 42-year-old Tuscaloosa man was working as a driver for a trucking company. In August 2012, after successfully transporting a load to an assembly plant, our client opened the trailer doors and was struck by multiple heavy boxes full of auto parts. The case was about how the boxes were loaded into the trailer. At trial, Derrick and Jane proved that the company violated its own safety procedures in loading the truck.
Our client suffered neck and back injuries. He had to undergo multiple surgeries. He was not able to go back to work as a truck driver.
