justice4you March 28, 2024

This is the first time that the DOJ will reward whistleblowers using money forfeited in criminal actions. On March 7, 2024, at the American Bar Association’s 39th National Institute on White Collar Crime, the U.S. Deputy Attorney General (“DAG”), Lisa Monaco, announced the development of a new pilot program (“Program”) for the Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The Program incentivizes individuals to report corporate misconduct by rewarding whistleblowers with payouts from civil or criminal forfeitures. While the DOJ welcomes whistleblower reports on any violation of federal law, their primary focus would be on three key areas: (1) criminal abuses of the U.S. financial system; (2) instances of foreign corruption that fall outside the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

Settlement - $3,767,000

Truck Accident

A 20-year-old man who had been married for just 12 days left home on his way to work. He was driving on Pleasant Grove Road in Sutter County in the early morning when he came upon a slow-moving truck. As he pulled out to pass the truck, the truck driver turned left in front of him. The young man attempted to steer back into his lane but his vehicle struck an un-flagged piece of metal extending from the back of the truck. He died in the resulting crash.

Expert witnesses brought in by the Arnold Law Firm proved that the truck, owned and operated by a hauling firm, should never have been on the highway that morning. Specifically, the rear and side turn signals did not work and the rear-view mirror was in a poor state of adjustment at the time of the collision. As a result, the driver, who had failed to properly inspect the vehicle before setting out that morning, couldn’t see the young man’s vehicle as it attempted to pass.

The poor condition of the truck, its lack of maintenance and the manner in which it was operated were found to be substantial factors in causing the collision that killed the young man. The testimony also established that the man had been making a lawful pass at the lawful speed limit and acted reasonably when he attempted to avoid the collision.

The man’s 20-year-old widow was awarded $3,767,000.77, his parents were awarded $185,131 and the family was reimbursed $11,899 in funeral expenses. Though money is a poor substitute for a young man’s life, this verdict demonstrates that drivers who endanger the lives of others will be held accountable for their actions.
