Confidential Settlement on behalf of a man who suffered a severe spinal cord injury following an auto accident. It was alleged that the car had a defective right -rear trailing arm that caused the driver to lose control of the car resulting in the accident.

The claim focused on the auto dealer’s failure to recognize damage to the right trialing arm that was affecting the handling of the car. On multiple visits, the driver had complained of handling issues, and the alignment machine diagnosed a problem in the right rear angle. However, the source of the problem was never identified and the dealer never warned the driver of the issue.

Following discovery and mediation, the case was resolved for a confidential amount.
