Overview

In January 2007, our client was a passenger in a vehicle caused to overturn on the highway by a tractor trailer.

The tractor trailer veered into the path of the vehicle our client was traveling in. Police noted that the tractor trailer made an unsafe lane change. As a defendant in this case, the driver of the tractor trailer aggressively denied that he was at fault for the collision and denied all responsibility for our client’s serious injuries.

The plaintiff sustained massive physical injuries including traumatic brain injury (TBI) that left her with permanent and life-changing physical and cognitive deficits, as well as life-long pain. Our firm was retained only after plaintiff’s initial counsel was unable to resolve the matter. After two failed mediation sessions, we resolved the case through direct negotiations with defense counsel for $1,500,000.
