Three New London attorneys have secured $1.8 million for the estate of a 22-year-old man who was killed on a Ledyard highway when an improperly installed and defective guardrail pierced a truck and slammed into the passenger side of the vehicle.

Robert Reardon Jr. of The Reardon Law Firm, his daughter and co-counsel Kelly, and attorney Joseph Barnes represented the estate of Brett Drake, who died in February 2016.
