Minnesota Wrongful Death Settles
Posted By Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus on Aug 20, 2010 8:00am PDT
In the state of Minnesota, a Duluth trucking company that is no longer in business has finally settled a wrongful death claim.
This week, a settlement was reached between Monson Trucking and the family of Wayne Swenson. Back in 2007, Wayne died on Interstate 35 near Proctor when a truck from the company suddenly stopped in front of him.
An attorney representing Swenson's widow claimed that the truck driver had not been trained on how to deal with an overheated vehicle. Swenson allegedly slammed on his brakes in an attempt to avoid the truck, but a car struck his motorcycle and pushed him directly into the truck.
Both parties agreed to settle the wrongful death claim for an undisclosed amount of money prior to a pretrial hearing.
