Injured In a
Car or Truck
Accident?

An 18 wheeler driver was driving 65mph in rain and sleet with his cruise control on when he hit a disabled vehicle in which our client’s teenage daughter was a passenger. Unfortunately, the impact killed this young, promising college student. Truck drivers are supposed to reduce their speed in adverse weather and industry standards make clear that commercial drivers should not use cruise control in adverse weather.

Two days before Christmas, a plumber and his supervisor, both high on meth, crossed into incoming traffic on a two-lane highway hitting our client head on and killing him. In addition to the payment, the plumbing company agreed to drug test all employees, install GPS units on its trucks, conduct safety meetings and place signage on its trucks asking for driver feedback.

An 18-wheeler driver driving without a trailer exited the highway and crossed three lanes of traffic, failing to yield the right of way as they entered the third lane and began to turn. The turn caused a collision with our client’s SUV on the front driver’s side. Our client suffered injuries to his neck and head including a mild traumatic brain injury that affected his vision and speech.

An industrial business transporting light weight insulating materials failed to use the necessary tie downs to secure its boxes in the back of a pick up truck. As a result, a box flew out of the back of the truck while it was driving at highway speeds.  The box hit our client who was behind the truck on a motorcycle. The impact of the box caused the motorcyclist to lose control and impact the center cement barrier. MH suffered a brain injury and underwent multiple facial surgeries as well as back and shoulder surgery.
