operations have never run so smoothly — and it’s all thanks to Elizabeth Bauman, our new operations manager! Within five weeks of taking the job, she’d already onboarded three new hires and was leading the charge on revamping our human resources and onboarding processes. At first, Elizabeth was nervous about onboarding so soon, but she had plenty of experience to guide her. “I used to onboard people all the time in my last position [as the office and professional development manager at a large infrastructure solutions firm], so I’m very familiar with being able to navigate introducing somebody to a new place of
Elizabeth’s skill set is exactly what we needed. We also knew she’d be a great culture fit, because she already had a connection to our team! “Ashley and I met in 2017. She was on her honeymoon in Saint Lucia, and my husband and I were on vacation there,” Elizabeth says.

JUSTICE FOR A FAMILY LEFT BEHIND How We Secured a Full Policy Limits Settlement
of three. Dave was hard at work loading vehicles onto a transportation truck when another driver swerved into the middle lane where he was parked. The driver collided with Dave and, although doctors fought to save his life, he passed away from his injuries. The situation was truly tragic. Worse, it was preventable. The driver who hit Dave was an unqualified, untrained, and unsupervised employee driving a company car. They never should have been allowed behind the wheel. As soon as our team heard the facts, we joined forces with Slav’s Los Angeles- based firm (Abir Cohen Treyzon & Salo) to pursue a wrongful death case and secure compensation for Dave’s family.
to arm-wrestle with his son, walk his daughters down the aisle, or comfort his wife after a hard day again. In addition to that, Dave was also the main breadwinner for his wife and kids. His family needed money to pay his medical bills and move forward after the tragedy that tore them apart. So, we set out to get it for them. Working with Slav and his team, we made a compelling case for Dave’s family and what they were owed. Ultimately, we asked the insurance company of the unqualified driver’s employer to settle for the full commercial policy limits and more. Our hard work paid off. After a long fight, we settled Dave’s case and secured the funds his family needed. That money will never fill the hole Dave’s death left in their lives, but it will make things just a bit easier. As trucking accident and wrongful death attorneys, that’s the most we can hope for.
When you’re fighting a battle against injustice, you need all of the troops you can get. That idea was probably on attorney Slav’s mind in 2020 when a gut- wrenching trucking accident case came across his desk. Slav quickly picked up the phone and called in the troops: our team at The Button Law Firm.
The collision took the life of a man we’ll call “Dave” — a loving husband and father
Of course, we knew that nothing could replace Dave’s life: He’ll never be able
