After a 48-foot tractor-trailer injured Marc Rene in an early morning accident on a suburban road in West Palm Beach, the trucking company made a $300,000 pretrial offer.
But a Palm Beach County jury awarded Rene 10 times that amount—more than $3 million in damages—in his suit against Pat Salmon & Sons of Florida Inc. and driver Patrick Chancey.
“It's a huge disparity,” said plaintiffs attorney Jeanmarie Whalen, the Domnick Cunningham & Whalen partner who teamed with shareholder Fred Cunningham to bring Rene's suit. “The bottom line is we are very pleased Mr. Rene will have the funds necessary to pay for his future care, and that the jury compensated him for of the harms and losses caused by the defendant's negligence.”
