Allied Waste Predecessor a New York City Waste Hauler Tries to “Wash its Hands”
BFI was a multi-billion dollar corporation hiring gypsy truckers and trying to wash their hands of liability. This is a rampant problem in the trucking industry.
On May22nd, Paul Brandes of Villari Brandes & Kline of Conshohocken, PA was granted permission to sue BFI/Allied Waste by the Supreme Court of New Jersey. (See http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/opinions/supreme/A-117-04.pdf ) The decision creates new case law requiring companies that are largely engaged in the transport of goods to make certain that the trucking companies they hire are competent and insured. With 5,000 deaths each year on the highway a significant portion are caused by incompetent and uninsured tractor trailer drivers, this goes a long way to protecting public safety.
Starting their trip in Brooklyn, the Puckreins and her mother were rammed into at a local New Jersey roadway by a tractor trailer hired by BFI. The impact of the accident was so severe that it crushed Mrs. Puckrein’s skull and caused her brain matter to be splattered onto her mother in the back seat. Both of the Puckreins died.
BFI knew that the tractor trailer company had expired insurance and still let the tractor trailer go out on the road with 40,000 pounds of its glass residue. Employees at BFI did not even ask to view the registration, had they completed that, they would have seen it was expired.
Paul Brandes is a shareholder with Villari, Brandes & Kline. Villari, Brandes & Kline helps people who have suffered wrongdoings by negligent corporations.
