| by

Kirk Guidry and Scott Andrews of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana personal injury law firm of Dué Guidry Piedrahita Andrews Courrege L.C. completed a $1,500,000 settlement with a trucking company and trailer manufacturer for a defective underride guard. The accident occurred on Interstate 10 in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, when an automobile struck the rear of a moving tractor – trailer at high speed. The trailer was equipped with an ICC underride guard which improperly broke or deformed and allowed the automobile to travel an excessive distance under the rear of the trailer. This excessive underride allowed passenger compartment intrusion and resulted in multiple facial injuries to the driver, and rendered him blind.
