Commercial Vehicle Accident

A minivan filled with six young children was driving down the freeway when the driver of a tractor-trailer headed the opposite way dropped his thermos, reached down to get it while travelling 70 miles per hour, and lost control of his truck. The tractor-trailer careened across the grassy median and collided with the minivan with explosive force, gravely injuring four of the six children. Their injuries included spinal fractures, serious head trauma, and internal abdominal injuries; two of them were confined to full-torso braces for over a year: $1,157,000
