Brandon Peak of Butler Wooten Peak persuaded a jury to award $280 million to his clients after a weeklong trial in Muscogee County State Court.
At issue was the death of Judy Madere, 58, who was riding in the back seat of a Nissan Rogue SUV, buckled in between her grandchildren, 4-year-old Jaxson and 7-year-old Trinity. Her daughter, Carrie Jones—the children’s mother—was driving. Judy Madere’s twin sister, Trudy Hebert, was sitting up front next to her niece. They all died when a tractor-trailer truck carrying a bin of scrap metal came into their lane and hit them head-on, according to court records.
