Case Details
Our client R.A. was a 53 year old Hispanic male severely injured due to the negligence of a recently-licensed and untrained commercial truck driver for a large oilfield services company near Henderson in Rusk County, Texas. The commercial truck driver failed to yield right-of-way to our client by turning onto Highway 64 from a county road. Our investigation later revealed that the at-fault driver had only recently been released from jail for charges related to possession of marijuana and had only received his commercial driver’s license approximately one month earlier. The oilfield company provided almost no training before sticking him behind the wheel of a big rig. Our client had five surgeries over the course of two years, including shoulder, leg, and neck surgeries. Despite a history of earning good money working in the oilfield, our client was unable to return to work. With the assistance of expert witnesses, including an economist, vocational rehabilitation expert and a life care planner, we obtained a court settlement at mediation of approximately one million dollars.
