Our client was a passenger in a multi-vehicle collision in Agoura Hills. At the time, our client was being driven to their home. The defendant driver was hauling two arrow board trailers owned by and in the course and scope of his employment. This resulted in a truck accident case with serious injuries.
Liability for the crash is undisputed. The driver of the vehicle our client was riding in claims they were driving solely within their lane when they were struck by one of the trailers. The defendant, on the other hand, claims that they were driving straight in their lane when they were struck by our client’s driver. The resulting collision launched our client’s vehicle into the freeway’s center median.
Either way, our client was a fault-free passenger in the accident. They sustained a compound femur fracture as a result of this collision. They were airlifted for emergency care, where they underwent reconstruction surgery and remained interned for approximately a week. Afterward, they underwent surgery a second time after an unsuccessful initial procedure to correct lingering patella issues. Furthermore, they will need a third surgery to remove surgically attached hardware for correction.
