$5.5 Million – Trucking 18-Wheeler Broadside Accident
Trucking 18-Wheeler Broadside Accident
An energetic married woman was on her way to a fitness center during her lunch hour when she was broadsided by an 18-wheeler truck that ran a red light. She broke many bones in her body. The impact also caused a traumatic brain injury. This injury was particularly disturbing as she was able to talk and, at times, seemed normal. However, the brain injury left her unable to remember conversations and take care of herself or others.
The settlement allowed her to obtain brain injury therapy that was cutting edge at the time and resulted in some improvement. Unfortunately, she is still unable to take care of herself, however a trust that was set up to care for her has provided equipment and housing modifications.
The case settled for $5.5 million dollars against the Cleveland trucking company.
Every case is different, and the verdicts and settlement figures listed by Crandall & Pera Law are not a guarantee of similar outcomes for other clients and cases.
