Catastrophic injury and wrongful death attorneys Bob Boatman and Shannon Clark were interviewed for a FOX10 investigative report, "Fatal fatigue: Loophole allows specific truckers to drive beyond time limits." Bob represented the family of deceased 20-year-old Dante Brubeck-Vanderslice, who was killed in a 2021 semi-truck crash caused by a fatigued driver.
The story looks into a regulatory loophole that may contribute to fatigue among semi-truck drivers transporting agricultural goods. While the claims against the driver and his employer have settled, Bob and Shannon now represent all victims of the tragic accident pursuing claims against Daimler for failing to install available crash avoidance technology that would have helped the driver avoid this crash.
