The defendant, driving an 18-wheeler, was driving 65 mph in rain and sleet with his cruise control on when he hit a disabled vehicle. Our client’s teenage daughter was a passenger in that disabled vehicle. Tragically, the impact killed this young, promising college student. The law requires truck drivers to reduce their speed in adverse weather, and industry standards make clear that commercial drivers should not use cruise control in adverse weather.

The negligent defendant struck and killed our client, a pedestrian crossing the street. The defendant, driving a commercial vehicle, failed to properly yield to a pedestrian as required by law. The impact was fatal.

An industrial business, transporting lightweight insulating materials, failed to use the necessary tie-downs to secure its boxes in the back of a pickup truck. As a result, a box flew out of the back of the truck, driving at highway speeds.  The box hit our client, who was traveling behind the truck on a motorcycle. The impact of the box caused the motorcyclist to lose control and impact the center concrete barrier. Our client suffered brain, back, facial, and shoulder injuries, which required numerous surgeries. 

Our client was traveling on I-20 in Midland, Texas. Traffic ahead slowed, and our client came to a stop.  The defendant driver, operating a utility truck for a medical supply company, was distracted by his cell phone and rear-ended our client at 72 mph. The force of the impact caused a catastrophic three-vehicle wreck, and our client's vehicle flipped, landing on its roof.  Additional investigation revealed the driver had a history of driving over the posted speed limit while on the job. The company, which monitored the utility truck via GPS, knew or should have known its employee habitually sped while on the job—driving all over West Texas and Eastern New Mexico.  Our client sustained a traumatic brain injury with a large scalp laceration and injuries to his neck, back, and shoulders.  Our client underwent multiple spinal injections and surgery on both shoulders.
