As a woman drives down a county road on her way to pick up fast food, a truck driver is backing his tractor-trailer onto the same road at a very slow rate of speed. The two vehicles collide, resulting in serious injuries. The woman files suit alleging the truck driver was negligent and that the trucking company failed to properly train the driver. The driver and trucking company assert that the crash was caused by the plaintiff’s excessive speed and inattentive driving. The jury will be asked to allocate fault among the parties.

The Wisconsin ABOTA Chapter is sanctioned by the American Board of Trial Advocates, a national association of experienced trial lawyers and judges dedicated to protecting the right to a civil jury trial established by the U.S. Constitution. To qualify as a member, attorneys must be nominated by another member, achieve at least six years of active experience as a trial lawyer, and have tried at least ten jury trials to conclusion over the course of their careers.
