Case Study:

Dudley v. Towne Air Freight

Indiana State Police Lieutenant Gary Dudley helped coordinate and annually participated in a charity bicycle ride around the state of Indiana to benefit C.O.P.S. (“Concerns of Police Survivors”), an organization that provides support to families of officers who are killed in the line of duty. In 2006, Gary was riding his bicycle in the charity ride with a group of other police officers southbound on State Road 63 in Vermillion County when the riders’ support motor vehicle was rear-ended by a truck being driven by an employee of Degendant Towne Air Freight. As the truck collided with the support motor vehicle, both vehicles were propelled forward and Gary was struck and killed. Tabor Law Firm successfully represented Gary’s wife, Carolyn, in an action for his wrongful death. Our investigation revealed evidence that the Defendant driver failed to keep a proper lookout, was speeding, and was following too closely before he hit Gary.
