Plaintiff’s attorneys Joe Fried and Michael Goldberg of Fried Goldberg and Karina Deochand and Romi Jayswal of Karma Injury Law recently secured a $16.6 million verdict out of DeKalb County in a case where a trucker’s automated emergency braking system failed, causing the truck to stop suddenly and their client to hit him.
Fried, an advocate for trucking safety and telematics systems to monitor truck driver performance, said this is one of the first cases he’s aware of where technology designed to avoid a crash instead set one up.
