M. Warren Butler, Director-Elect of the Trial Academy and partner at Starnes Davis Florie, LLP, obtained a defense verdict in Alabama in favor of a trucking company in a case involving a motor vehicle accident. Plaintiffs alleged that the truck driver caused the subject collision by negligently failing to yield the right-of-way and claimed they suffered physical injuries and mental anguish as a result of the crash. The defense argued that the truck driver exercised reasonable care when operating his truck and that Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries were not caused by the accident. Following a brief deliberation, a verdict was returned in favor of the defense.
