After 20 years riding motorcycles, 41-year-old Hank Taylor lost his life in an accident that never should have happened. Thanks to the hard work and creative thinking of an Attorney from the Haymond Law Firm, at least Hank's family will be financially secure with a settlement of $468,000.
ABC Paving Company was doing construction on a major road in the summer of 1999. Townspeople complained about the excessive dust caused by the construction project. In response, the paving company used calcium chloride, a compound commonly used to control dust, on the unpaved road. Unfortunately, the calcium chloride accumulated on the adjoining, paved road. When Hank rode his motorcycle over this area, his bike slid on the compound, caught on the clean pavement and tumbled end over end. Hank slid face down for over 30 feet and died shortly thereafter from massive head injuries.
Within an hour of the accident, the local fire department washed away all the evidence, at the direction of the police. In over 25 years of using this calcium chloride compound, ABC Paving Company had never been sued successfully for its misuse until the Haymond Law Firm took on Hank's case. We were the first, and they paid because of our willingness to fight for Hank's family.
