Case Details
Our client, an over-the-road trucker, was catastrophically injured while resting in the sleeper berth of his semi-truck when his co-driver succumbed to fatigue, falling asleep at the wheel and causing the massive truck to veer off the highway and crash into a line of trees. The violent impact threw our client from his bunk, causing devastating, life-altering injuries. He was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a broken clavicle, and lumbar spondylolisthesis. The trucking company and its insurer immediately tried to minimize their liability. Our truck accident lawyers launched an aggressive investigation, subpoenaing driver logs, dispatch records, and “black box” event data, uncovering a clear pattern of negligence: the co-driver had violated federal Hours-of-Service regulations.
