Case Details
Our client was driving his pickup truck on an icy highway near Klamath Falls when struck head-on by a semi-truck driving the opposite direction. Another semi-truck came upon the scene and due to the icy roads was unable to stop and struck the rear of our client’s vehicle. Client suffered facial and leg fractures. Client had multiple surgeries including the amputation of his big toe. Client was unable to return to his Military Reserve responsibilities and unable to work for over a year. The insurance company for the first semi claimed that our client crossed over the center line. We filed suit. We entered into a Mary-Carter agreement with the insurance company for the second semi. Multiple expert witnesses, accident reconstructionists, biomechanical experts, and doctors testified concerning speed, icy roads, and damage causation between the two impacts. The trial lasted 2 weeks. During jury deliberations, defendant insurance company number one offered one million dollars to settle, which was above their policy limits. The offer was rejected, and the jury returned a verdict of $2.73 million dollars and allocated defendant number one to be 99% liable, and defendant number 2 to be 1% liable.
