Trucking Case Study

Our client was traveling to work, a day laborer working at a construction site. He was required to be there before daybreak. An 18-wheeler was attempting to back up into a site. Our client collided with him head-on. The driver of the truck failed to turn on his running lights. Our client couldn't stop in time to avoid colliding with him. On that day he sustained serious injuries and the insurance company denied his claim. We filed a lawsuit and won. Experts were able to prove that it wasn't possible for our client to have stopped in time. They argued that our client who is late into his 60's, took longer to heal, that his ability to perform his daily task as a day laborer was impaired and that this accident would affect the quality of his life.
