Estate of Ai Ping Lin v. Best Cartage, Inc. (2005)

Recovery: Confidential Settlement

This crash occurred when a trucker ran into and over top of a small passenger vehicle on an interstate highway. Our deceased client was a Chinese immigrant who had just moved to North Carolina from New York City, where she had been studying accounting and working. We represented her estate and her husband in a wrongful death claim. The truck’s electronic control module (ECM) data was particularly helpful in this case, as it showed that the truck was traveling at more than twenty (20) miles over the posted speed limit at the time of impact. The case was complicated by inadequate insurance coverage. After deposing the truck company CEO and owner, we amended the complaint to add a claim for piercing the corporate veil in order to go after the shareholders’ personal assets. During discovery, an excess insurance policy was located, and, after the shareholders agreed to contribute a substantial amount of their own money, the case resolved prior to trial.
