$125k Mediated Settlement for Freightliner Collision

Our clients were stopped off the roadway at International Highway 40 Eastbound in Amarillo, Texas. At that time, the defendant driver operated a Freightliner Cascadia 113 on International Highway 40 Eastbound. The defendant driver failed to drive in a single lane, started to drive on the improved shoulder, and rear-ended our client’s vehicle at a very high rate of speed. The police officer on the scene of the collision found the defendant driver At-fault for the collision in violation of the California Vehicle Code for failing to drive in a single lane.

Our client saw a doctor for the evaluation and treatment of the injuries sustained due to the injuries that they sustained due to the motor vehicle collision that occurred. They complained of headaches, and pain in the neck, left shoulder, and back. The neck pain radiating 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. The symptoms worsened with walking, standing, sitting, strenuous lifting, carrying, pulling, stooping, twisting, turning, extending, flexing, awkward positions, bending over, and a cold environment.
