CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT – Semitruck Driver Seriously Injured After Collision with Another Semitruck
Our client was pulled over in the right lane of the interstate highway behind another semitruck, driven by his fiancé, with the hazard lights of his semitruck on because he had noticed his truck shaking which led him to believe it had mechanical issues. A third semi-truck approached from behind at a high rate of speed, crashing into our client’s semitruck, which then collided with the semitruck parked in front of him, his fiancé’s. The collision caused an explosion and the defendant’s semitruck engulfed in flames that quickly spread to our client’s semitruck that he was inside of. He managed to escape the flaming truck and help his fiancé put out the fire that was burning her scalp and hair.
As a result of the collision, our client suffered a concussion, multiple disc displacements and herniation, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Our client and his fiancé reached out to us while they were undergoing treatment and our team negotiated a settlement offer with the defendant driver and their trucking company after filing suit, conducting depositions, and hiring numerous experts.
