Garcia v. Fleetwood and Reese, United States Federal Court District Court of New Mexico.

Our client Josie Garcia was rendered a quadriplegic for life when her Fleetwood 5th wheel trailer fell on her head while she and her husband were hitching it to a Reese 5th wheel hitch. We handled a case against the distributor of the trailer in California state court as well as a case against the manufacturers of the trailer and the hitch in New Mexico federal court. We used extensive animations and graphics to demonstrate how the devastating injury occurred. After a trial and two settlement agreements, Josie was able to retrofit her home so that it is wheelchair accessible and obtain the in-home medical care that she needs to deal with the challenges of being quadriplegic. Josie is one of the strongest people we’ve ever known.

Past successes cannot be an assurance of future success because each case must be decided on its own merits.
