Grant Smith of Dennis, Corry, Smith & Dixon recently secured a “difficult” defense win in a trucking tort where, according to Smith, plaintiffs represented by Yehuda Smolar of the YES Law Group and William Cromwell of Carter Cromwell asked a DeKalb County State Court jury for between $2.75 million and $4.125 million in closing.

The jury ended up finding in favor of the defendants, awarding $0 to the plaintiffs. On paper, the plaintiffs were formidable opponents, boasting well-credentialed experts, and Smith contends the venue has historically been challenging for trucking defendants.
