Oliver, Vann and Team Obtain Favorable Verdict

Carr Allison shareholders Tom Oliver and Dennis Vann successfully defended a hazmat motor carrier in a week-long trial in Birmingham (AL).

The case was brought following an incident in 2019 that alleged the motor carrier unloaded a chemical into the wrong tank creating a hazardous gas cloud affecting numerous employees on site and garnered overwhelming publicity in the local area.

After a grueling week of trial, the jury returned a verdict that reduced the plaintiff’s requested damages by 90 percent. Tom and Dennis were supported by their trial team of attorneys Will Johnson and Web Brown and paralegal Sarah Powell.

Congratulations to this Carr Allison trial team!
