Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith secured a defense verdict in a Mississippi sideswipe case. Matthew Williams and Chad Ruhr, both of Galloway’s Gulfport office, provided high-quality representation that led to the favorable result.
The case stemmed from an alleged sideswipe collision between a passenger vehicle and a gravel truck. Fault was disputed, and the Plaintiff sought seven-figure damages. Williams and Ruhr adeptly showed the jury that the Plaintiff could not meet their burden of proof.
Following the four-day trial, jurors deliberated for two and a half hours before delivering a complete defense verdict on liability. Williams and Ruhr delivered an attention to detail and tailored arguments that led the jury to siding with Galloway’s client.
