On October 16, 2018, Anthony M. Sam secured a defense verdict in an auto accident case which resulted in a fatality.  Tony represented the driver of a passenger bus who was driving on a rural highway in central Illinois when he encountered black ice.  The driver was able to steer his vehicle from the roadway, through a median and ultimately came to rest alongside the highway arguably saving the lives of 26 passengers aboard the bus.  Unfortunately, a pedestrian was standing in the median on the poorly lit highway at night and he was struck and killed.  At trial, Tony demonstrated that there was nothing that the bus driver could do to avoid the accident given the black ice, poorly lit highway and unexpectedly encountering a pedestrian in the median roadway.
