$1,000,000

Attorney Goodman was retained by a Springfield family to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible parties for their daughter’s death. She was the driver and her two friends were passengers at the time of the crash. Attorney Goodman joined efforts with two other attorneys and became lead trial counsel in U.S. Federal District Court in Wilmington, Delaware. He hired several experts, including a railroad crossing engineer, a civil engineer, an expert in night vision and sight lines or conspicuity, and a reconstruction expert. Years of discovery ensued, with frequent trips from Bradley to Philadelphia on the U.S. Air plane and a shuttle van to Wilmington for court appearances and depositions. On the first day of trial, all several of the defendants agreed to a global settlement, accepting responsibility and bringing closure to the families of the young victims. The very high settlement figure was sealed and remains confidential at the request of the families.
