Defective Sanitation Truck Transmission - $1,500,000 Settlement
For our client, a City Sanitation Worker, who suffered a crushed pelvis when a garbage truck he had brought to a stop and just exited suddenly began to roll down a hill and ran over him as he attempted to jump back into the cab. We demonstrated that the truck's transmission shifter was defective and our expert asserted that this defect caused the truck to go out of neutral and into drive thereby causing the accident.
