A case that lasted 10 long years finally settled. Trudy Roy was injured in 2006 when a motorcycle operated by a Homewood police officer collided with her while she was crossing the street. Rip Andrews filed the case but then had to win several appeals at the Supreme Court of Alabama just to get it heard by a jury in a trial. In 2015, after the jury heard nearly two weeks of evidence about how Mrs. Roy got hurt while the police officer was providing a police escort for a charity parade, the jury awarded a verdict in the amount of $4 million in favor of the plaintiff. Unfortunately, by then Mrs. Roy had died from unrelated causes. The case was continued by her son. There followed yet another appeal, and then this year, the case was ultimately resolved.
