Our client, a semi-truck driver for a trash company, was driving when he crested a hill and unexpectedly encountered a crew painting the highway. Due to a lack of warning signs and no safe stopping distance, he swerved to avoid a collision, clipping a dump truck and overturning in the median.
He was ejected from the vehicle, while strapped into the driver’s seat, and suffered a serious head injury, a fractured right shoulder, and back and hip injuries. He was life-flighted to the hospital and treated by multiple specialists.
Our attorney secured him $115,464 in workers’ compensation benefits to cover his losses.
