This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Tyler Thompson of Dolt, Thompson, Shepherd &amp; Conway, PSC (https://www.kytrial.com/).   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Kentucky trial lawyer Tyler Thompson of Dolt, Thompson, Shepherd &amp; Conway, PSC explains how he successfully represented a teenage girl who sustained a permanent brain injury after a crash involving a Monarch Environmental garbage truck parked on the wrong side of the road. On Thanksgiving Day in 2000, 17-year-old Shannon Houchin was driving to work when she crested the top of a hill and saw the headlights of a garbage truck in her lane. She quickly swerved to avoid the large Monarch Environmental truck and swerved again to avoid a pedestrian, which sent her car spinning and sliding sideways into the garbage truck. As a result of the crash, Shannon spent over 50 days in a coma and sustained brain and physical injuries that require round-the-clock care, including involuntary muscle contractions, bilateral third nerve palsy, dementia and hyperphagia -- a memory-related eating disorder. Trial lawyer Tyler Thompson shares how he utilized testimony from residents who had near collisions with Monarch Environmental garbage trucks and how the company ignored warnings about parking on the opposite side of the street for two years — some incidents being as recent as one week before Shannon's accident. In spite of the defense's arguments, a Warren County, Kentucky jury found that Shannon was not at fault and awarded her $27,335,667.87 in damages.    Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents     Guest Bio: Tyler Thompson Tyler Smyth Thompson is a graduate of Berea College and the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law, and currently the senior partner at the law firm Dolt, Thompson, Shepherd &amp; Conway, PSC in Louisville, Kentucky.  He and his wife, Frances Travis Thompson MD, have three daughters, Calley, Madison and Ellery.   Mr. Thompson has represented clients in medical negligence and products liability cases throughout the United States.  He has achieved a number of eight-figure settlements on behalf of injured clients and has obtained a number of multi-million dollar verdicts at trial, including three verdicts exceeding $10 million dollars and two verdicts exceeding $20 million dollars.   In 2008, Mr. Thompson became an invited member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, a trial lawyer organization limited to 100 lawyers in the United States, which the National Law Journal has called "a fraternity of superstar personal injury litigators" and the Washington Post recognized as "a select group of 100 of the nation's most celebrated trial lawyers."  Super Lawyers Magazine has selected Mr. Thompson as one of the top 10 attorneys in Kentucky on multiple occasions and in the 2021 Edition, he was ranked number one among all Kentucky lawyers.   Mr. Thompson is an invited member of the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and a past recipient of the Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award, given annually to an attorney in Kentucky who has demonstrated excellence in the courtroom.  He has an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and is listed in Best Lawyers in America.
