- Paul Brandes secures major victory for his clients and motorists nationwide in a case before the Supreme Court of New Jersey (click here to read the Court’s opinion in Puckrein v. ATI Transport, Inc.)
Based on the arguments made by Paul Brandes of Villari Brandes & Kline, the Supreme Court of New Jersey ruled that the firm’s clients (the Puckrein and Greaves families) can seek to hold the world’s second largest commercial waste hauler/transporter, Allied Waste, Inc./Browning-Ferris Industries of New York, liable for the deaths of Kevin and Alecia Puckrein, and the injuries to Jean Greaves caused when a tractor-trailer with missing brakes and no insurance violently crashed into their car at an intersection while the tractor-trailer was hauling a load for BFI. Mr. and Mrs. Puckrein left behind two young children. Paul was successful in arguing that the Court should create new law, requiring companies that are largely engaged in the transport of goods over the highways (like Allied Waste/BFI) to make certain that the independent trucking companies and drivers they hire are competent and insured. With tractor-trailers causing 5,000 deaths each year on the highways -- a significant portion of which are caused by incompetent and uninsured tractor trailer drivers and their poorly maintained trucks -- this ruling goes a long way to furthering public safety and insuring that innocent victims of these goliaths of the highway are not left uncompensated.
- Puckrein v. ATI Transport/NJ Supreme Ct oral argument re: tractor trailer accident
Over 5,000 people are killed on our nation’s highways each year by tractor-trailers, many of which do not have proper insurance and registration. The end result, devastated families left without proper and fair compensation/Paul D. Brandes Argues Before the New Jersey Supreme Court that Companies who hire Uninsured or Unregistered Independent Tractor-Trailer Operators or Motor Carriers Should be Held Responsible for the Damages and Deaths Negligently Caused by those Tractor-Trailers and their Drivers
