Tasha was killed as a passenger in her husband’s vehicle. Her husband had been drinking at a bar, picked Tasha up, and proceeded to run off the road into the side of a hill. Tasha was killed instantly.

What makes the case unique is that Tasha’s husband hired his own lawyer and tried to insert himself as a trustee to bring a claim against himself to receive compensation for his wife’s death. Tasha’s mother hired Attorney Steve Terry and TSR Injury Law and a petition was filed to seek a different trustee. The defendant then decided he wanted to put his father in as the trustee instead of himself, since it was a direct conflict of interest, but the judge saw through this attempt and selected the trustee that Tasha’s mother had chosen.

Policy limits of $100,000 were secured, but once again, the husband tried to stick his hand out as an “heir” and another contentious hearing had to be won before he understood that not only was he going to jail, but he would not receive compensation for killing his wife. The rest of his family was very grateful for the end result.
