Freightliner Truck Sleeper Cabs and
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Investigation
  
Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, is a national law firm that represents persons injured or the families of loved ones killed in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits due to defective products. We are currently investigating allegations by drivers of Freightliner trucks that they suffered injuries due to carbon monoxide poisoning from the exhaust of their trucks while sleeping in the sleeper cab.
In April 2004, a Florida jury awarded $4.4 million to the family of a truck driver who was found dead at a rest stop in his 2000 Freightliner Century Class. The jury agreed with counsel for the family that the death was caused by a defect with the truck. According to press reports, an autopsy was performed by a medical examiner found a 67 percent saturation of driver's blood with carbon monoxide. Freightliner stated it would appeal the verdict of liability.
