Trio of Wicker Smith attorneys obtain a defense verdict in a trucking negligence case

Wicker Smith Miami Partners Erik Crep and T. Michael Kennedy and Associate Trenton Wasser obtained a defense verdict in a trucking negligence case in late February in Broward County, Florida. This case involved a low-hanging power line that was hit by their client’s semi-trailer, causing a utility pole to break and hit the plaintiff’s car. Both the phone company and the electric company settled out of the case prior to trial. Wicker Smith represented the trucking company and the defendant driver in the four-day trial. The jury deliberated for 90 minutes before returning a complete defense verdict. This was one of three defense verdicts obtained by Wicker Smith lawyers throughout the firm during the same week in February.
