Additional Notes
Peter Wachowski, partner at Bellas & Wachowski, successfully represents a truck accident victim in 2022. Official records unequivocally show that the defendant was solely responsible for the truck accident while acting within the scope of his employment. His carelessness in the truck accident and injury case was clear from the citations he received for failing to keep to the right side of the road and improper lane usage, therefore underscoring his negligence in this matter. The defendant’s employer is also liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior. The plaintiff suffered extensive injuries as a result of the truck accident, including intervertebral disc degeneration, back muscle spasms, lumbar somatic dysfunction, and abdominal pain, among others. These injuries resulted in significant damages such as ongoing medical expenses, loss of household services, and projected loss of future income.
