  • CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT FOR DEATH CAUSED BY NEGLIGENT TIRE REPAIR

Plaintiff’s wife was a passenger in her sport utility vehicle when its left rear tire suffered a tread seperation.  The tread seperation caused the driver of the vehicle to loose control and the vehicle to roll over several times on the highway ejecting and killing Plaintiff’s wife.  Plaintiff sued the defendant company which had negligently repaired the subject tire months before the crash. 

 

  • $12,500,000 VERDICT IN TANKER TRUCK CRASH-  Anderson v. Schneider National, Inc., et al., Jefferson Co. AL, CV-03-5753

Defendant tank truck driver blacked out for a few seconds as he was approaching a red light where the plaintiff’s husband was stopped. When the truck driver regained consciousness, he slammed on his brakes but failed to stop before, or otherwise avoid, killing the plaintiff’s husband. The truck driver had a long history of chronic health problems that made his blackout absolutely predictable.  Schneider possessed and actually reviewed ten years of the driver’s DOT exams evidencing these health problems.  Despite this knowledge Schneider allowed their driver to operate their tanker truck.  Schneider also failed to properly train the driver in the proper handling of tanker trucks, including emergency maneuvers that may have prevented the crash.  Shortly after the jury returned its verdict, the case was settled for a confidential amount.

  • $2,500,000 VERDICT IN MOTORCYCLE CRASH AGAINST UNDERINSURED MOTORIST INSURER- Shari Tyler v. Progressive American Insurance, et. al, Calhoun Co. AL, CV-05-566

Plaintiff’s husband was killed while riding his motorcycle when a car attempting to make a left turn pulled out in front of him.  The at-fault motorist’s insurer tendered its limits prior to trial, as did the primary underinsured motorist insurer which held a policy on the motorcycle.  A second underinsured motorist insurer settled prior to trial for a confidential amount.  The third underinsured motorist insurer, Progressive, defended at trial solely on damages.  Under Alabama law Progressive was entitled to a credit for all moneys paid by the other insurers.  The verdict was sufficient to collect the limits of available insurance from Progressive.

  • CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT FOR DEATH CAUSED BY UNSTABLE SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE WHICH DEFENDANT HAD FAILED TO EQUIP WITH ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL

Plaintiff’s wife was driving her full-size sport utility vehicle when she was cut off in traffic by another motorist.  When plaintiff’s wife attempted to avoid this other vehicle, her SUV, because of its inherent instability, rolled on the highway.  Plaintiff’s wife was ejected and killed during the rollover.  The defendant failed to equip the subject vehicle with electronic stability control, which would have prevented the rollover, despite the fact that they had installed this technology in other similar vehicles prior to the subject vehicle’s manufacture.  The defendant also failed to utilize the decades-old technology of laminated safety glass in the passenger windows of the vehicle even though it knew of its importance in preventing ejections during rollovers and had installed it in previous SUV models.

  • $12,500,000 SETTLEMENT FOR GIRLS ABUSED WHILE IN THE CUSTODY OF THE ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH SERVICES- Hoover, et. al. v. Zeigler, et. al., Jefferson Co., AL, CV-02-0314; Campbell, et. al. v. the Alabama Department of Youth Services, et. al., USDC No Dist. Ala, CV-01-1433.

The firm’s attorneys represented 35 young women who were sexually abused as children at the Alabama Department of Youth Services Chalkville Campus.  Claims were brought in State and Federal Court under Title IX and Section 1983.  

  • CONFIDENTIAL EIGHT-FIGURE SETTLEMENT FOR WOMAN WHO LOST ARMS AND LEGS DUE TO FAILURE OF FLU VACCINE MANUFACTURER TO WARN OF KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS

Lanny Vines & Associates, LLC attorneys achieved a settlement well in excess of eight figures for a 45-year-old client who suffered amputations of portions of all four of her limbs as a result of her reaction to an influenza (“flu”) vaccination. The vaccine manufacturer knew that vasculitis was a known autoimmune response to the influenza vaccination.  It also knew that vasculitis was particularly hazardous to those with compromised immune systems like the Plaintiff, who lost her spleen in a prior auto accident. Despite this knowledge, the defendant’s package insert disclaimed any causal relationship between their flu shot and vasculitis and did not warn medical professionals with regard to administering it to individuals with compromised immune systems.  Plaintiff’s treating physician testified that he would have provided the plaintiff with information and advice about this serious risk had the defendant’s package insert adequately warned about it.  Plaintiff testified that had she been provided with such information, she would not have agreed to the flu shot.

  • $1,725,000 SETTLEMENT IN TRUCK CRASH- Deramus v. P&S Transportation, Inc., Jefferson Co. AL, CV-05-4030, 4031 & 4556

A tractor trailer loaded with steel plates crossed the median and traveled nearly five miles on the wrong side of I-65 before colliding head-on with the plaintiff’s vehicle, causing injuries to the three occupants. The crash was the result of the trucking company's failure to ensure their driver's compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrations Hours of Service regulations limiting driving time. The three plaintiff's medical bills combined totaled approximately $100,000.
