Settlement: $1,125,000
Our client was a 36-year-old long-haul truck driver, and he was injured as a pedestrian in March of 2023. He was walking through the parking lot of a gas station when he was struck by another vehicle.
As a result of the collision, our plaintiff sustained injuries to his neck, back, ribs, and left leg. He was diagnosed with a tibia fracture, a C6-C7 fracture, a T-3 compression fracture, and multiple rib fractures. He was transported to a local hospital via rescue squad, where he remained for nine days. During this admission, he underwent surgery to address the leg and neck fractures. Our plaintiff was then transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility for a short stay. Following his discharge, the plaintiff’s treatment was limited and he made a good recovery.
The parties agreed to mediation shortly after the suit was filed, and settled for $1,125,000.00.
