  Case Results: Oscar Aguilar v . Werner Enterprises, Inc.
  Published Opinion United States District Court for the District of Arizona, 11-CV-01385 B 20
  Summary, as published in Arizona Attorney Magazine's June 2014 Top Verdicts Issue: Nancy Bran's car developed a flat tire while she was driving,
  she stopped in the number three travel lane of Interstate 10. She called her husb
  to tell him of the car problems. About 90 seconds after the car stopped, a Werner Enterprises tractor-trailer driven by Ronald Maupin collided into the stopped car, killing Bran. Bran's parents alleged that Maupin failed to take appropriate evasive action
  failed to recognize
  react appropriately to the hazard. Werner Enterprises
  Maupin defended that Bran created a sudden emergency
  that Maupin did not see her car until it was too late. They also argued that she was negligent by stopping in a travel lane rather than moving over into the shoulder
  by failing to turn on her hazard lights. They also noted that Bran's husb
  put on the car an inappropriate snow tire that had a bulge.
