Roof Collapse Defect Kills 22-Year-Old
At twenty-two years old, our clients’ son was a corrections officer in a small rural town. He had grown up in that community and knew almost everyone. He was extremely close to his parents and was following in his father’s footsteps with a career in law enforcement. One day after work, as he was riding home with a co-worker, there was a terrible accident.
The driver of the truck he was riding in lost control while passing another car. The truck went off the road and overturned. Our clients’ son was wearing his seatbelt, but as a result of the accident, the roof collapsed, trapping him in the front passenger seat. He died of positional asphyxiation.
Our Florida injury attorneys represented the victim’s parents in a case against the vehicle manufacturer. The lawsuit blamed a defect in the roof structure for their son’s death. The roof deformation was so severe that it collapsed well below the headrest. The case settled confidentially.
