Attorney: Rabia Said
Case Type: Commercial Trucking Collision
Location: Dallas, Texas
Settlement: $995,000.00

Witherite Law Group attorney Rabia Said, successfully settled a commercial trucking collision case for $995,000.00 on behalf of two clients who were seriously injured in a crash caused by an unsafe lane change on a busy Dallas interstate.

The settlement was reached prior to trial and reflected clear liability, strong supporting evidence, and the significant impact the collision had on our clients’ lives.

‍

The Collision

The wreck occurred on Interstate 30 in Dallas. Our clients were traveling lawfully when a tractor-trailer made an illegal and unsafe lane change, striking the passenger side of their vehicle.

At the time of the collision, the commercial truck was operating in a lane restricted to passenger vehicles, where large trucks are not permitted. This violation played a key role in the wreck and significantly increased the danger to surrounding motorists.

Law enforcement responded to the scene and conducted an investigation.

‍

Liability Findings

The investigation clearly placed responsibility for the truck driver and the trucking company. Key liability factors included:

  • Law enforcement determined the truck driver was solely at fault for failing to maintain a single lane
  • The lane change occurred in a restricted lane, making the maneuver unlawful
  • Video evidence and scene documentation corroborated our clients’ account of how the crash occurred

Attorney Rabia Said addressed not only the driver’s conduct, but also broader concerns related to oversight and safety practices, which were considered during settlement negotiations.

‍

Injuries and Impact

Both clients suffered serious physical and emotional injuries because of the wreck. The force of the impact caused trauma that required extensive evaluation and ongoing care.

The injuries affected multiple aspects of daily life, including mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.  

These injuries were a central component of the case and were supported by detailed records and expert review.

‍

Case Resolution

After presenting the evidence and engaging in negotiations, the case settled for $995,000.00. The settlement allowed:

  • Resolution of all claims related to the collision
  • Accountability for the unsafe actions that caused the crash
  • Closure for our clients without the uncertainty of continued litigation

The outcome reflected both the seriousness of the injuries and the clear responsibility of the commercial trucking operation involved.
