Congratulations to WSHB partners Jade Tran and Vanessa Herzog for successfully defending a national trucking company and its driver in a challenging San Bernardino Superior Court jury trial. This intricate case, which stemmed from a significant accident on the northbound I-15, culminated in the jury determining that the plaintiff driver bore 95% of the liability for the collision. Despite the plaintiffs' initial demand of $6 million in damages, the case reached a resolution for a significantly reduced amount after opening statements in the damages phase, reflecting a fraction of the original demand.
