Case Details

This case involved a major collision on highway I-505 in Vacaville, CA, where a Petetractor driven by an employee of Sprinter Trucking, Inc., rear-ended a sedan driven by our clients. The truck driver was acting within the scope of his employment, making Sprinter Trucking vicariously liable for his actions. The incident occurred on October 2, 2019, when the defendant, traveling at approximately 60 miles per hour, took his eyes off the road for 10-15 seconds to check his side rearview mirror. During this time, he failed to notice our clients' vehicle in front of him, resulting in a collision that caused significant damage and severe injuries to both the driver and passenger. The force of the impact thrust our clients' vehicle off the road, where it came to rest against a barbed wire fence. Witnesses at the scene confirmed the defendant's inattention as the cause of the crash. We alleged in the complaint that the defendant's negligence, including driving at unsafe speeds and failing to pay attention to the road, directly caused the accident. Our clients sought compensation for their medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of income, and other damages resulting from the incident. As a result of the collision, both of our clients sustained severe physical injuries and emotional distress, with one suffering significant spinal damage and other injuries requiring extensive medical treatment. Both plaintiffs continue to endure the physical and emotional consequences of the crash. After a year and a half of legal proceedings, we successfully settled the case for our clients, securing $2,000,000 in compensation.
