Fullerton Beck Secures Favorable Outcome in High‑Exposure Vehicle Incident by Car Wash Employee

A Fullerton Beck litigation team led by Katrine Aliha Beck secured a favorable outcome on behalf of a car wash and its employee in a highly publicized, high‑exposure matter involving an incident in which a vehicle struck elderly customers multiple times. Katrine acted immediately to preserve critical evidence, including the vehicle, and retained appropriate experts to support the investigation.

Her early assessment identified a mechanical issue, which proved instrumental in averting criminal charges against the driver. Through detailed fact-finding and early case analysis, Katrine further reduced the matter’s exposure, successfully and cleverly challenging pre-impact terror claims by demonstrating that the plaintiffs had diminished hearing and were unlikely to have perceived the vehicle approaching from behind them.

In addition to managing the civil defense, Katrine handled related DMV proceedings to avoid prejudice against her clients in the underlying litigation.
