Stark & Stark Shareholder Appointed to the Pennsylvania State Advisory Board of the Association of Plaintiff's Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America
John Cordisco, Shareholder in Stark & Stark’s Personal Injury group, was recently appointed to serve on the Pennsylvania State Advisory Board of the Association of Plaintiff’s Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America. The Association is the largest single group of plaintiff industrial trucking lawyers in America.
Mr. Cordisco has extensive experience litigating trucking accident cases throughout the state of Pennsylvania. He recently obtained a $3,000,000 settlement in the Middle District of Pennsylvania (U.S. District Court) for the family of a 12-year old boy who was killed as a passenger in a vehicle which was struck by a tractor trailer. The driver of the tractor trailer failed to conduct a pre-trip inspection, and subsequent discovery found that several brakes were out of alignment which contributed to his inability to bring his vehicle to a full and complete stop prior to colliding with the vehicle occupied by the minor. The settlement in this case was noted as one of the most significant results in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
