Wrongful Death
Parsley v. ABF Freight Systems, Inc.; Dallas County, Texas wrongful death suit (double fatality) wherein two parents, both 32 years of age, were killed as a result of a collision with a truck passing an ABF tractor-trailer. This case was tried twice with both juries determining that ABF's driver did not cause the accident and therefore did not cause the resulting deaths.
