On a busy stretch of southbound I-75, our client, a professional driver operating a cube truck, was violently struck from behind by a massive semi-truck and trailer. The force of the high-speed impact was catastrophic. Our investigation quickly revealed the cause: the at-fault driver was a clear danger on the road.
We discovered the semi-truck driver had flagrantly violated federal motor carrier safety regulations, specifically by exceeding the legal hours-of-service limits. This evidence strongly indicated the driver was suffering from dangerous driver fatigue and had likely fallen asleep at the wheel. This negligence resulted in life-altering injuries for our client, including a herniated lumbar disc that required laminectomy surgery, persistent post-concussion syndrome, and painful soft tissue injuries in his neck.
Our truck accident attorneys pursued a comprehensive claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier, demanding full accountability. We built an undeniable case linking the driver’s recklessness directly to our client’s severe injuries and secured a $900,000 settlement for his non-economic damages (pain and suffering).
In a separate but equally critical action, we also filed a Michigan No-Fault PIP claim against our client’s own insurer. This ensured that all his medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, attendant care, and household replacement services were fully covered, providing complete financial support during his recovery.
