Johnson et. al. v. RIG Logistics, et. al

Mr. Jay Johnson was a loved father to five beautiful children and a caring husband. In 2016, on his way to Law Vegas, his vehicle ran out of gas so he pulled to the shoulder of the freeway, called AAA, and initiated his flashing hazard lights. Before AAA could arrive, Defendant-driver was driving towards Mr. Johnson's disabled vehicle in a 18-wheel semi-truck weighing over 70,000 pounds. The defendant-driver was completing his five-day round trip from Canada to California and now heading back home. Due to the defendant-driver's excessive driving, with limited sleep, he nodded off at the wheel and collided into the rear of Mr. Johnson's disabled vehicle killing him instantly. After years of litigation, the parties came to a confidential settlement weeks before trial set in San Bernardino, CA.
