Commercial Vehicle Accident

Shortly before 11:00 p.m., a tractor-trailer pulled out of an industrial park and began a ponderous right turn, blocking the dark road in front of two teenagers approaching in a pickup truck. The driver of the pickup was speeding, failed to hit his brakes in time, and submarined his truck under the trailer. His front seat passenger, a young woman, sustained a life-changing traumatic brain injury on impact. Months of rehabilitation followed in which our client had to relearn how to walk, speak, and care for herself again: $1,800,000
