Trucking Accident

In July 2006, Mr. and Mrs. John Doe were involved in a horrendous motor vehicle accident near Key West, Florida when their vehicle was rear ended by a commercial truck. Earlier that same day, the operator of the commercial truck experienced brake problems. His supervisor asked him to drive the vehicle back to their home office. It was a busy holiday weekend. Unfortunately, the brakes on the truck failed causing the truck to violently rear end the vehicle operated by Mr. Doe as he was waiting to make a left turn. Their vehicle was totaled by the crash.

As a result of the crash, Mr. Doe sustained multiple disc herniation’s in the cervical spine at C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 as well as injuries to his low back resulting in herniation’s in his lumbar spine at L2-L3 and L4-L5. Mr. Doe also underwent surgery for injuries that he sustained to his shoulder and knee following the crash. The primary treating physicians for Mr. Doe opined that he would require ongoing medical treatment throughout his lifetime, including doctor visits, physical therapy, facet block in the lumbar spine and fusions to the cervical and lumbar spine regions. His past medical expenses were approximately $131,000.00.
