Jaime Jackson Law and KBG Injury Law, recently teamed up to resolve a case for a client who was catastrophically injured in a rear impact with a dump truck.
What happened
Our client was slowing to make a left-hand turn with their turn signal on when their vehicle was struck from behind by a dump truck. We were able to obtain surveillance video from nearby business establishments showing the impact. We also obtained the dash-cam video from the striking dump truck. Analysis of the video, as well as the crush damage to both vehicles revealed that the dump truck was travelling in excess of the speed limit. A close analysis of the physical evidence and extensive interviews of eyewitnesses helped confirm there was no evidence of braking or evasive steering on the part of the distracted and inattentive dump truck driver before impact.
The key to successful resolution
Key to successful resolution of the case and taking care of our client was working with medical doctors and a life care planning specialist to analyze our client’s injuries and future medical care needs. All permanent injury cases must be closely looked at to determine what the client’s future medical care needs will likely be. This is important so that any settlement obtained will cover their future care needs, or when the case goes to trial, the jury will hear and see the appropriate evidence outlining the client’s injuries and future care needs.
