At Beasley Allen, we leverage decades of experience and deep knowledge of auto safety and the automotive industry to support every auto accident case we handle. This helps us identify defects in automobile accident cases. When we find such evidence and support it with further investigation, the cases can evolve and turn into auto products liability cases.

Let’s take a look at some of our recent wins from the last two years. These cases had less than $3 million TOTAL available in auto insurance, but we secured $447 million.

Settlements & Verdicts Secured:

• $162 Million Settlement – In 2021, a tragic accident occurred involving a van transporting 16 women graduating from a substance abuse addiction community. The van flipped on the interstate and caught fire, partly due to being equipped with the wrong load range tires. We represented five of the wrongful death cases and another four injury cases, securing a $162 million settlement, believed to be Georgia’s largest from a single-automobile accident.
• $160 Million Verdict – Our attorneys secured a $160 million verdict after a defective design changed our client’s life forever. What started as an ordinary workday for Leonard Wiley Street turned catastrophic when his heavy truck was forced off the road after an impact caused by a pick-up truck.  This resulted in a rollover that fractured his neck due to the significant roof crush and the lack of an automatic pull-down safety seat in the cab, ultimately leaving him an incomplete quadriplegic.
• $45 Million Settlement – We secured a more than $45 million settlement on behalf of a 9-year-old boy crushed in an automobile vehicle crash and left paralyzed. The lawyers uncovered evidence that an illegal lift kit installed in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited contributed to the child’s injuries, including paraplegia.
• $37 Million Settlement – A $37 million settlement was obtained for a critically injured client in a heavy truck accident caused by a tire tread/belt separation.
• $19.5 Million Settlement – We secured a $19.5 million settlement for a wrongful death resulting from an auto defect. The victim, in this case, should have survived the collision. Instead, the defect turned a relatively minor accident into a fatal one.
• $2.7 Million Settlement – Beasley Allen reached a $2.7 million settlement for Tocarious Johnson’s family after the young man was killed by exploding shrapnel from a defective Takata airbag inflator.

Additional confidential settlements include:

• $11 Million
• $5.75 Million
• $4.3 Million
