Attorneys Fred Pritzker and Eric Hageman of our firm obtained a $2,469,339 verdict from a Hennepin County jury on April 14, 2011 in a tragic wrongful death case. 53-year old bicyclist was killed on August 15, 2008 when she was run over by the rear wheels of the trailer of a right-turning tractor-trailer at a busy intersection. The consensus of the investigating police officers had been that the bicyclist should have seen the truck and that the accident occurred because bicyclist was unable to remove her feet from her new clipless bicycle pedals.

Fred and Eric's investigation of the case revealed, however, that the accident had not occurred as the truck driver had initially claimed. After obtaining the truck driver’s logbooks, they were able to determine that there were numerous falsifications, which should have caused the driver to be out of service at the time of the accident. Moreover, the deposition revealed that the truck driver had failed to monitor his right outside mirrors during his turn. This failure was compounded by the truck driver’s admission that he believed he was pulling a 48-foot trailer, as opposed to a 53-foot trailer.

“Our clients are extremely pleased with this result,” said Attorney Fred Pritzker. “While no amount of money will ever make up for the terrible loss they have endured, they are thrilled that someone has been held accountable for the death.”
