Our client stopped their Freightliner off the International Highway 40 Eastbound roadway in Amarillo, Texas. At that time, the defendant driver operated a Freightliner Cascadia 113 on International Highway 40 Eastbound. At some point, the defendant driver failed to drive in a single lane and began driving on the improved shoulder. After they left the main roadway, they then rear ended our client’s vehicle at a very high rate of speed. Therefore, the police officer at the collision scene found the defendant driver at fault for the collision in violation of California Vehicle Code 21658 CVC for failing to drive in a single lane.
Our client sought medical attention to evaluate and treat the injuries sustained in the motor vehicle collision. They complained of headaches and pain in their neck, left shoulder, and back. The neck pain radiated into the left upper extremity and the back pain radiated into the bilateral lower extremities.
They also had weakness, stiffness, tingling, and numbness in the left hand, back, and bilateral legs. Likewise, the symptoms worsened with walking, standing, sitting, strenuous lifting, carrying, pulling, stooping, twisting, turning, extending, flexing, awkward positions, bending over, and a cold environment.
Our experienced truck and commercial vehicle accident attorneys secured a $150K settlement for the Freightliner crash the victim suffered in Amarillo, Texas.
