Case Details

Our client was driving a 63,000 pound Kershaw crane truck up a grade at 10-15 mph with his flashers activated. Defendant was driving a large commercial 18 wheeler semi-truck loaded with sodas and vending machine products. Defendant collided into the rear of my client's truck at approximately 55 mph. Our client suffered bilateral loss of vision; bilateral tinnitus (ringing in ears); cognitive deficits (minor brain injury); L5 radiculopathy (low back pain radiating down leg); and right shoulder impingement syndrome. Our client was forced to be placed on full disability and unable to work. We retained various experts to prove liability and explain the injuries sustained. A vocational rehabilitation expert was retained to help our client obtain some type of gainful employment. The difficulty with the case was that our client suffered from a pre-existing rare disorder known as PXE. There is some literature evidencing loss of peripheral vision caused by this disease. We settled this case for $650,000.
