Clark Fountain Obtains Significant Confidential Settlement for Young Man’s Family Following Tragic Vehicle Fire

The unflappable legal team at Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Littky-Rubin & Whitman, led by Don Fountain, Julie Littky-Rubin, and Daniel Walker, has successfully secured a substantial confidential settlement for the family of a young man tragically killed in a vehicle fire.

The case arose from a deadly motor vehicle incident in 2017, when the young man’s vehicle was rear-ended at high speed while exiting a highway. The impact caused the fuel tank in his vehicle to ignite, resulting in a catastrophic fire into the cabin area. Despite the efforts of emergency responders, the young man could not be extricated from the vehicle in time and the flames claimed his life. This preventable tragedy left the family of the young man to grapple with the sudden and devastating loss.

After the tragic incident, the family’s lawyers engaged the attorneys at Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Littky-Rubin & Whitman as co-counsel to investigate the crash and represent the family in a case against the vehicle manufacturer. Don Fountain, Julie H. Littky-Rubin, and Daniel Walker led a thorough investigation into the incident, revealing compelling evidence of design defects in the vehicle’s fuel system. This case underscores the dangers of manufacturers prioritizing convenience over safety, which ultimately lead to catastrophic consequences such as those endured by the young man and his family.

The settlement highlights the seriousness of the manufacturer’s negligence in designing and manufacturing a vehicle with inherent safety flaws. By holding manufacturers accountable, Don Fountain, Julie Littky-Rubin, and Daniel Walker have not only secured justice for their clients but have also taken a significant step towards promoting safer standards within the automotive industry.
