A Cobb County jury has awarded $641,250 to a tire store manager who said a broken-down dump truck on an Interstate highway caused him to run off a cliff.
Jonathan Eley broke his back when his 1997 Ford pickup skidded down a bank and landed head first into the dry side of a riverbed. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he underwent spinal surgery. His medical bills totaled $140,000, according to plaintiff’s attorney Michael Goldberg of Fried Rogers Goldberg. Goldberg tried the case with Christopher John Adams of the Kenneth Nugent firm. Adams filed the lawsuit in January 2011, then brought in Goldberg’s firm, known for trucking cases.
