Commercial truck rear-end — spinal injury, lifetime care
Recovery for a Tampa driver who suffered a spinal injury requiring lifetime care after a commercial truck rear-ended his vehicle.
Our client was stopped in traffic on a Tampa interstate when a fully loaded commercial truck failed to slow and struck his vehicle from behind. The force of the collision caused a severe spinal cord injury that left him needing lifelong medical care and unable to return to his job.
The trucking company and its insurer disputed the extent of his future needs and argued he was partly at fault. We moved quickly to preserve the truck’s electronic logging and maintenance records, brought in accident-reconstruction and life-care-planning experts, and documented the full lifetime cost of his care.
The case resolved for $6.2 million — funding the medical care, equipment, and support our client will need for the rest of his life.
