Proven verdicts and settlements
A Natrona County jury found that Casper tire shop Tire-Rama shared responsibility for a 2019 truck crash that injured Nicholas Skalicky, awarding him $6.1 million and his wife $300,000 after eight days of trial. Skalicky argued the shop's technicians had failed to verify the brakes on a tractor-trailer before releasing it to the driver who rear-ended him. The jury apportioned 85 percent of the fault to that driver, who had already been dismissed from the case, leaving Tire-Rama liable for its 15 percent share, about $960,000. Jason Ochs of Ochs Law Firm represented Skalicky at trial.
