$11.1M Verdict in Truck Driver Assault Case

Singleton Schreiber secured an $11.162 million jury verdict and confidential settlement on behalf of a client assaulted by a Valley Farm Transport driver. The jury found the company liable for its driver's actions and for approving the conduct after the fact, rejecting Valley Farm’s claim that the driver was merely an independent contractor. The result delivers justice for the client and reinforces corporate accountability in the trucking industry.
