Passen & Powell recently settled a case on behalf of an injured man against a tractor-trailer repair facility and a jack stands manufacturer for $1,385,000. Our client suffered severe leg injuries when the trailer he was working on at the repair facility fell onto his legs. The defendants argued that our client was negligent in the manner in which he attempted to secure the trailer. We alleged that he was inappropriately trained by the repair facility and that the jack stands were unreasonably dangerous in their design and labeling.
