$5 Million Settlement For Truck Accident

Michael F. Hupy settled a truck/car accident case for more than $5 million.

On December 7, 1994, a truck traveling westbound through an intersection hit a car in which Albert Jones, Jr., a sixteen year old, was a back seat passenger. The truck driver admitted he did not see the car until just before the collision despite clear visibility and no obstructions to block his view. The truck continued through the intersection, over a curb and across the sidewalk. It slammed into the House of Peace at 17th & Walnut in Milwaukee, crashed through its wall and came to rest 20 feet inside the building. After being hit by the truck, the car spun out of control and came to rest against a bus. The occupants of the car were removed by the Jaws of Life. As a result of the accident, Albert suffered permanent brain damage and other injuries. Albert’s father hired another law firm, before turning to Michael F. Hupy & Associates, S.C. Twenty-one months after the lawsuit was begun and four months before the case was scheduled for trial, the first offer was presented to us. Offers of $600,000.00 and $1.5 million were presented and rejected. We obtained $5 million for Albert Jones, Jr.
