Attorney writes on behalf of client in regards to a defective 2006 jacobsen trailer *tgw the attorney stated a defect with the trailer caused his client's right lower extremity to be crushed, which resulted in the amputation of his lower right leg, among other injuries. The manufacturing defect was believed to stem from a failure of the frame rail at the areas of the weld where the jack stand coupler connected to the rail. The rail area caused the trailer to collapse onto the consumer. The design defect was believed to be caused by insufficient strength metal for the frame which would withstand the forces in the areas around the jack stand coupler weld etc. *Jb
