CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT AMOUNT – Semi-Truck Reversed into Stationary Semi-Truck Resulting in Several Spine Surgeries
Our client, a commercial truck driver, was in his semi-truck when another semi-truck backed into him, lifting our client’s truck off of the ground and causing his head and body to slam against the window and door of the cab. Our client was in intense pain from this incident and had to undergo spinal surgery. After waking up from this surgery and realizing he was paralyzed from the chest down, the client underwent a second emergency surgery. Our client underwent further treatment, extensive rehabilitation, and had to relearn basic functions such as walking and speaking; now he can walk short distances with the assistance of a cane.
Our client reached out to the office after his surgical interventions were completed to assist him in recovering from the parties responsible for the injuries and pain he had suffered. Our team was able to negotiate and reach a confidential settlement agreement after mediation, prior to trial.
