Case Name:
Barbara Hentzen, Douglas Triggs and Nicholas Triggs v. Fordyce Concrete Company
Settlement Amount - $2 million settlement
Case Description:
Decedent John Triggs was at the corner of 12th and Grand Streets in downtown
Kansas City, Missouri, on his bicycle about to cross the street in the
crosswalk. John was an experienced bicycle rider who had toured all 48 of
the continental United States and had just returned to Kansas City from a
bicycle tour of Europe. John wrote a book about his tour of the United States
and planned to write a book about his trip across Europe. On June 9, 2006, a
Fordyce Concrete Truck made a right hand turn onto
Grand Street to deliver concrete to the Sprint Center construction project.
The concrete truck ran over the curb with its back axle hitting John Triggs
and pulling his body underneath the back tires of the truck. The driver
dragged John for a block down Grand Street without realizing he had hit him.
The plaintiffs were John's common law wife and his two adult sons. John was
65 years old.
