Trucking Accidents: When A Truck Hits A Car, The Car Loses

I recently settled a trucking accident case for a substantial sum of money. My client was on his way to work and was at a full and complete stop at the stoplight. Suddenly, he was rear-ended by a massive semi-truck hauling several tons of cargo. He was hit so hard that he had a concussion and suffered a significant disk herniation in his neck. The disk was pressing against his spinal cord roots and he experienced weakness, tingling, and numbness in his arms and legs. He was miserable. After physical therapy failed to produce any substantial improvement, my client had to undergo risky spine surgery to take the pressure off his nerve roots. The driver who caused the accident was not paying attention to the cars in front of him. Trucking accidents are common, because many truck drivers are overworked, fatigued, and tired. Because trucks are so massive, it is easy for a personal injury to result when a truck hits a car. Have you been injured in a truck accident?
