$1 million verdict against trucking company, Samson truck driver $1 million verdict against trucking company, Samson truck driver 9/29/08 Dothan Eagle, AL Quote: A jury recently returned a $1 million verdict in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against a Geneva County truck driver and a Texas-based trucking company in a crash that left a 79-year-old man dead. The lawsuit was filed by Kenneth Watkins, the son of Joseph Watkins who died in the crash. Matt Glover, a lead attorney who represented Watkins, said a Conecuh County jury in Evergreen deliberated about four hours before returning its verdict last Thursday. The wrongful death lawsuit originally included Wal-Mart, but Glover said the jury only returned the verdict against Rowell Trucking, Samson resident Thomas Wayne Rowell and Greatwide Dedicated Transport. http://www.dothaneagle.com/dea/news/..._driver/38811/

this article is awful and offers no info. Defense claimed the dead guy failed to yield. Plaintiff claims truck was going 70. was this based on computer, who knows, as the story sucks. Dead guy was almost 80, my guess is he was not fit to drive and pulled out in front of the truck, regardless of the speed of the truck you have to yield. K
