$1.027 Million Settlement in Multi-Vehicle Accident

Caddell & Chapman represented, as lead counsel, the family of a teenage girl who died in an auto accident just east of Amarillo, Texas. The accident involved nine vehicles (5 of them eighteen-wheelers) traveling on the highway in the midst of a grass fire. The teenager was a passenger in the rear of a Chevy Trailblazer occupied by her best friend, and the friend’s father and mother. The Trailblazer was smashed between two eighteen-wheelers when the one in front of the vehicle slammed on its brakes. The best friend was the only survivor. Caddell and Chapman recovered a net settlement of $1.027 million for the Burroughs family.
