Hein v. Utility Trailer Manufacturing Inc.: On November 13, 2015, a truck driver hauling a Utility Trailer 3000R refrigerated trailer collided with Riley Hein who was driving a Honda Civic. Because the semitruck did not have any side underride protection, Riley’s car got pinned under the trailer while the truck continued to drive. The car caught fire and Riley dies before anyone could get to him. Randi McGinn and her team picked up this case and took it to trial against Utility Trailer Manufacturing. After two weeks of litigation, the jury found Utility Trailer Manufacturing negligent and had contributed to Riley’s death. The verdict awarded the plaintiff $18.9 million.
