Richard C. Watters, a lead personal injury attorney at the respected Fresno law firm Miles, Sears & Eanni, secured a $1,250,000 personal injury settlement in the case of Killian v. Mann, filed in Fresno County Superior Court. The case arose from a road rage incident on a mountain highway between Shaver Lake and Tollhouse, California.
The victim, 16-year-old Isaiah Killian, suffered a traumatic degloving injury to his left arm, resulting in permanent hand deformity, after being cut off by another driver, Mr. Mann, during a reckless driving episode. The defendant fled the scene but later agreed to settle the matter personally for $1.25 million. The case settled in January 2021.
This case underscores the serious legal consequences of road rage and aggressive driving, especially when such conduct results in significant bodily injury. At Miles, Sears & Eanni, our experienced Fresno personal injury attorneys fight for justice on behalf of victims and their families.
