H.K. v. Crete Carrier Corporation
Confidential Settlement
This retired professor was involved in a trucking/Big-rig accident when the tractor-trailer coming from the opposite direction crossed over a divided highway, turned onto its side, and landed on top of our client's vehicle. At first, in spite of the need to be taken by helicopter to a hospital, it appeared that our client had suffered no significant injury. However, two months later, H.K. went in for brain surgery. The defendants claimed that this surgery was due to the professor's age, and had nothing to do with the incident.
Working with doctors, we were able to demonstrate that our client's brain injury and subsequent surgeries were caused by the initial collision, but there was a delayed effect that prevented the injury from being immediately recognized on the date of the collision. More importantly, the investigation showed that the truck driver was likely fatigued and, in fact, may well have fallen asleep at the wheel. There was evidence that we intended to use to show the jury that the truck driver had disregarded the safety of other motorists and instead had chosen to drive after he should have pulled over.
This client was referred to us by other clients who had hired us who were in a different car in the same crash. When our client wanted to know who to hire, the people he had never met before told him to call us.
