NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Cowen
of Cowen Rodriguez
Peacock recently settled a case for his client whose
mother was tragically killed by an 18-wheeler truck. The plaintiff
chose to focus first on holding the trucking company accountable
and preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The plaintiff's 71-year-old mother was killed when the tire came
off the rim of an 18-wheeler truck and bounced into her windshield,
and forced her to drive into the guardrail. The accident occurred
because the truck driver was not properly inflating and checking
the tire pressure on pre-trip inspections.
Cowen's client wanted something positive to come from her
mother's death, so they told the defendant they would not discuss
money until they agreed to implement change and train drivers on
tire safety.
In a recent video interview with Michael J. Swanson, CEO, and Chairman of
Advocate Capital, Inc., Cowen explained that plaintiff attorneys
like himself look for opportunities to impact change through their
cases.
Cowen stated, "…one of the things that's so frustrating with
what we do is we come in after a tragedy and families need help…we
get them the compensation that helps them get on with their lives,
but it would really be nice to try and do something to stop this
from happening in the first place…. I see people suffering. I can't
cure them. I can't make it not happen, but is there a way that we
can go and prevent the next crash from happening?"
Cowen is a part of the American Association for Justice Trucking
Litigation Group and the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys who
lobby congress, the Federal Motor Carrier Administration, and other
consumer advocacy groups to implement safety requirements for
trucking companies like emergency breaking and strengthened
underride guard railings.
