Settlement - Wrongful Death/Product Design Defect
James F. Best and Mathew K. HargraveNovember 2012BVH obtains favorable settlement in favor of a design engineering firm that designed bicycle racks used by transit authorities throughout the country in a case where Plaintiff died after being run over by a transit bus while attempting to remove her bicycle from the front-mounted bicycle rack.
