Trial and Case Highlights
  • Pister v. Matrix Service Industrial Contractors, et.al.: Jury Trial, Circuit Court of Champaign County, Illinois. In this jury trial, Amanda assisted the first-chair partner to achieve a defense verdict on behalf of a nationally known target defendant in Champaign, Illinois. The plaintiff agreed the welding rods and other tools found in the wreckage of the defendant employee’s car placed him in the course and scope of employment at the time he caused a fatal head on accident that killed him and the plaintiff’s decedent. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. Upon appeal, the appellate court upheld the trial court’s ruling and refused to apply the workers’ compensation theory of traveling employee to tort law cases.
