Trial is beginning in Las Vegas in the wrongful death case of LVMPD Detective Justin Terry, who was killed on June 10, 2022, when a 7,000-pound construction beam fell onto his vehicle as he drove beneath an overpass under construction on U.S. Highway 95.
PSR attorneys represent Detective Terry’s wife and sons in a lawsuit alleging that Las Vegas Paving Company failed to ensure the beam was safely fabricated and positioned and to provide adequate warnings and safeguards for motorists. The lawsuit further alleges that Western States Contracting Inc. and its driver negligently operated a tractor-trailer carrying an oversized load that struck and dislodged the beam.
After two decades spent protecting his community, Detective Terry's life was cut tragically short. Now, his family is seeking justice and accountability for his death.
