Stuart Poage and Micah Andrews, of the Tallahassee office, prevailed on a Motion for Summary Final Judgment as a result of a serious automobile accident case. Our clients, who do the construction work on Interstate 10 and the driver of their dump truck, were sued by a man who ran into the back of the dump truck at approximately 70 miles per hour. The dump truck made a U-turn 888 feet before the point of impact. With a great accident reconstruction, Stuart and Micah were able to show the driver of the rear vehicle had sufficient time to recognize the hazard and stop his vehicle before running into the back of our clients’ dump truck.

The Court found that the Plaintiff, as driver of the rear vehicle, could not come up with a “substantial and reasonable” explanation for the accident and that there was no record evidence that our client was negligent as the front-most vehicle and granted the Motion.
