ATAA Success Stories

I’ve been a member of ATAA since the beginning and attended the first conference in 2016. It is one of the best professional organizations I’ve participated in during my career. Second, I want to thank leadership for consistently sharing your knowledge to inspire us to think and practice in new ways. I settled a case this year that I took on shortly after the first ATAA symposium. I owe a debt of gratitude for people whose presentations helped me approach this case in ways I hadn’t before – all of which helped make sure that this family was ultimately treated with the kind of dignity and respect that they deserved.

I recently handled a trucking case with a newly practicing attorney. Several other attorneys had turned down the case, in which our client rear-ended a tractor trailer at a high rate of speed. Liability was very difficult. We obtained a very favorable settlement on this case, which would have not been possible without the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys (ATAA). We garnered incredible information from the 2016 Annual Symposium and the member resource center provided many document samples that we utilized in our case. Most importantly, the networking with experienced trucking lawyers nationwide, was invaluable. They provided exceptional advice and direction as we moved through this challenging case! ATAA was the reason why we were able to deliver a substantial check to the grieving widow.
