Highway Pileup Injury

In September of 2014, our client was involved in a pileup on Highway 59 in Houston, Texas which started with an 18-wheeler rear-ending an SUV. That SUV was hit so hard that it went flying into our client, causing our client to hit the vehicle in front of him. As a result, our client was “pancaked” in between two vehicles and suffered multiple impact forces to his body. Our client’s injuries included neck and back disc herniations which required surgery. His past medical bills were nearly $100,000.00. It was discovered the truck driver was using a cell phone excessively in litigation in Harris County, Texas. It was also discovered his tires were bald and that he poorly maintained the tractor. The case settled for a substantial and confidential sum after mediation.
