John & Blair Alford Obtain $4 Million for Client Severely Injured by Impaired Driver

The Broussard, David & Moroux office in Covington continues to expand with notable client case wins. As a testament to the success of our new office, attorneys John and Blair Alford secured a $4 million settlement for our client who was severely injured in a motor vehicle accident.

Our client was traveling on Highway 190 when an intoxicated driver was speeding and collided into the rear-end of their vehicle. At the time of the collision, the defendant displayed clear signs of drug impairment and admitted to drug use that same day. Further investigation confirmed that the defendant was under the influence of fentanyl and was performing job-related duties while operating the vehicle. As a result of the crash, our client required extensive medical treatments for their injuries.

The case continued to develop as John and Blair strategically reinforced evidence indicating that the employer was aware of the defendant’s drug addiction and had failed to enforce company policies and procedures. Their case against both the company and the defendant continued to strengthen as mediation approached.

With the growing threat of punitive damages, the company and the defendant opted to settle with our client. Thanks to John and Blair’s strategic and persistent efforts, our client ultimately received a $4 million settlement at mediation.
