- **Case type:** Motor vehicle accident
- **Location:** Mansfield, LA

## Case Description

A truck was towing a large piece of equipment through Mansfield when it became positioned in a way that completely blocked the roadway. This lack of preparation and adherence to safety protocols resulted in a collision with our client’s vehicle.

## Legal Strategy

We focused on exposing the defendant’s negligence in planning the transport of the equipment and their failure to provide adequate warning to other drivers.

## Challenges

The defense raised a comparative fault defense, contending that the client should have seen the obstruction sooner, given the line of sight.

## Resolution

Settled through mediation for $900,000.
