Werner Wins $100M Nuclear Verdict Reversal by Texas Court - TT
“That singular and robustly explanatory fact fully explains why the accident happened and who is responsible for the resulting injuries. Because no further explanation is reasonably necessary to substantially explain the origins of this accident or to assign responsibility for the plaintiffs’ injuries, the rule of ‘proximate causation’ does not permit a fact finder to search for other, subordinate actors in the causal chain and assign liability to them.”
Simply put, just because he was there doesn't make it his fault.
Sometimes the little guy wins.
Werner wins on appeal

"The high court said that nothing the Werner driver, Shiraz Ali, did or didn’t do contributed to the pickup truck hitting ice, losing control, veering into the median and entering oncoming traffic on an interstate highway."
Glad this absurd verdict was overturned.
The $100 million award was absurd.
The reasoning for blaming Werner was absurd.
That it took over a decade to resolve this matter was absurd.
Justice has finally prevailed.austinmike, ducnut, O.Henry and 7 others Thank this. -
i gotta say, as much as i really do not have respect for many mega trucking companies, this is good that Werner won.austinmike, ducnut, O.Henry and 7 others Thank this. -
It's the right decision, I guess they just wanted to see Werner cry some crocodile tears. I wonder how much they paid the legal team, lawyers are always happy @ $,1000 an hour
hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
Maybe they can now afford to re-instate the matching 401K funds for their participating drivers.
gentleroger, Lonwolv54 and ducnut Thank this. -
Hope Werner goes after the plaintiffs for every penny they have for such a blatantly frivolous lawsuit.
thatsright Thanks this.
