Our attorneys represented a young energetic mother of three who suffered the traumatic amputation of both legs when the vehicle she was driving accidentally struck an improperly constructed guardrail installed on the shoulder on an interstate highway. Instead of redirecting her vehicle back on the roadway, the guardrail pierced the firewall of her vehicle, causing her terrible injuries. Discovery and expert analysis revealed that the guardrail was improperly constructed and lacked industry-standard safety features. A confidential multi-million dollar award was achieved at pre-trial mediation.
