A Shelby County jury took a stand against errant trucking companies when it returned a verdict in the amount of $29 million for a Columbiana woman who lost her husband in a truck wreck. The wrongful death case stemmed from a wreck on Alabama Highway 70 on June 14, 2002, in which Timothy Robbins Sr. was killed. Robbins’ pickup truck was struck head-on in his lane of travel by a dump truck driven by defendant Danny Hendrix and owned by Hendrix’s employer, Hardway Hauling and Contracting, Inc. According to David Marsh, who tried the case, the evidence was that the wreck was caused by a combination of driver inattention, speed, out-of repair brakes on the dump truck and driving under the influence of methamphetamine.
