The defendant was an employee of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway, and Transportation District. The defendants attempted to avoid responsibility for their employee's actions, claiming that he was on a lunch break and thus not "on duty," despite the fact that he was driving a truck which was the property of the District. GJEL accident lawyers successfully resolved the case for $1.9 million, which covered the plaintiffs' resultant medical damages, future medical costs, and pain and suffering.

$1 million for minor client who was a passenger in a van which rear-ended a big rig on I-5.
