A Broward jury found that National Truck Center, a Miami-based company, was 95 percent at fault in an accident that resulted in the death of 41-year-old plumber Werner K. Letterman.

After an emotional trial, the jury concluded that Letterman’s mother, Susan Letterman, should be awarded $15,502,880. Their decision on May 25 ended a three-year battle to assign responsibility to National Truck Center in a case fought by plaintiffs counsel Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather, Keen & Littky-Rubin in West Palm Beach.
