Representing victims of serious injury since 1967

This case involved the death of the driver of a vehicle which went off of SR 96 about 5 miles down the Klamath River from SR 99. The car went off of a 300 foot cliff into the Klamath River. We claimed that there was a trap here because the curve warning signs leading up to this curve were too slow. The safe speed was faster than the sighs said. The curve warning sign for this curve was too slow. The sign said the safe speed was much faster than was actually safe. A driver who had gotten used to going faster than the signs would have little chance on this curve. The defense was that this was all the driver’s fault. Result: Verdict for$500,000.
