Wrongful death case involving a rear axle fracture on a custom-made Boss Hoss motorcycle. MT and his wife were driving a Boss Hoss motorcycle when the rear axle fractured, locking up the rear tire and causing MT to lose control. MT was thrown from the motorcycle, suffering life-threatening injuries. His wife suffered fatal injuries. Boss Hoss announced a recall for its 1993 and 1994 models due to rear axle failures/fractures. MT and his wife owned a 1995 Boss Hoss motorcycle, which likewise experienced a rear axle fracture, despite not being a part of the recall. This case settled on the eve of trial, after two years of litigation. We hired 9 experts, and deposed approximately 45 witnesses, in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Oregon, and California.

Approximately 51 days before the fire, our client purchased a new muffler manufactured by IMCO. As he was driving from San Antonio, Texas to visit family out of state, his vehicle was suddenly engulfed in flames as he was traveling at highway speeds. He suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns to over 55% of his body. After a thorough investigation, we determined the muffler suffered a seam failure, which caused the fire. We hired fire consultants, professional engineers, and metallurgists to perform testing on exemplar mufflers, which revealed the defect in the subject muffler. The case was tried to a jury in San Antonio, Texas.
