Semi Tractor-Trailer Accident
Multiple Fractures / Serious Brain Injury
Description:
The case involved a serious crash that occurred on a Twin Cities freeway when a semi-tractor trailer lost control while going westbound on a six-lane freeway and jackknifed into the eastbound lanes, striking Mr. A's van. Mr. A was trapped for almost two hours in the vehicle and suffered severe injuries, including a badly fractured hip, mulitple skull fractures, a serious brain injury and a fracture of the left arm. After over two months of hospitalization, he was released, and required follow-up hip replacement surgery and was left with the effects of his brain injury leaving him permanently disabled from his prior work in real estate.
Prompt investigation by experts hired by Mr. Riley, including the downloading of the "black box" data in the truck, showed that the truck driver's explaination of how the crash occurred was untrue. Because Mr. A was self-employed, Mr. Riley retained multiple experts to explain the income he was losing as a result of the crash, as well as experts to testify regarding his future medical care needs.
The matter was settled at mediation for $3,400,000.00.
