Downed Cable Line Death

Personal Injury

David settled a case for the family of a man who was killed when he was participating in a fishing tournament on the Tennessee River. While traveling to a fishing hole on a sunny July afternoon, the boat our client was riding in ran into a downed cable line located just above the water. Our client was partially decapitated and died immediately. We maintained that neither our client nor his fishing buddy was ever warned of the downed line. The downed line fell into the water after a pulling cable failed and was under repair at the time our client was killed.

"They took a case that others would have stayed clear of.."
I have the utmost respect for Rip Andrews and the lawyers at MRB Law. They took a case that others would have stayed clear of because the issue of state immunity was involved. Through determination and unwavering commitment they were able to a find resolution to an extremely difficult matter.

"They...brought justice to my family through a multi-million dollar verdict."
These lawyers took a complicated issue, revealed the truth in a way 12 jurors unfamiliar with the topic could understand, and brought justice to my family through a multi-million dollar verdict. They were able to relate my “invisible” medical condition to the jury better than I can to my own friends. And because of that, the jury hugged me and cried with me when it was all over. That meant more to me than any amount of money.
