At Beasley Allen, decades of experience and deep knowledge of auto safety and the automotive industry are leveraged to support every auto accident case. This expertise helps identify defects in automobile accident cases, which can evolve into auto products liability cases when supported by further investigation.

In the last two years, Beasley Allen has secured $287 million in settlements from eight auto product cases that had less than $2 million available in total insurance.

Settlements Secured:

$162 Million – In 2021, a tragic accident occurred involving a van transporting 16 women graduating from a substance abuse addiction community. The van flipped on the interstate and caught fire, partly due to being equipped with the wrong load range tires. Beasley Allen represented five wrongful death cases and four injury cases, securing a $162 million settlement believed to be Georgia’s largest from a single-automobile accident.

$45 Million – A more than $45 million settlement was secured on behalf of a 9-year-old boy crushed in an automobile crash and left paralyzed. Evidence showed that an illegal lift kit installed in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited contributed to the child’s injuries, including paraplegia.

$37 Million – A $37 million settlement was obtained for a critically injured client in a heavy truck accident caused by tire tread/belt separation.

$19.5 Million – A $19.5 million settlement was secured for wrongful death resulting from an auto defect. The victim should have survived the collision; instead, the defect turned a relatively minor accident into a fatal one.

$2.7 Million – Beasley Allen reached a $2.7 million settlement for Tocarious Johnson’s family after he was killed by exploding shrapnel from a defective Takata airbag inflator.

Additional confidential settlements include:

$11 Million

$5.75 Million

$4.3 Million
