TBI Lawsuit Against a Major Auto Dealership

In April of 2016, our brain injury lawyers resolved a lawsuit against a major auto dealership arising from their dealer trade driver who inexplicably went into oncoming traffic causing catastrophic injuries to our client such as traumatic brain injury.  Both lanes of traffic on this highway had speed limits of 60 mph.  The dealership’s driver was in a Jeep Wrangler and our client was on her way to work in a full sized pickup truck.  Our client’s airbags deployed when she was hit head on but she struck her head hard enough to be knocked unconscious.  The other driver was able to crawl out of the jeep but had an altered mental status according to witnesses.  Both were taken to the hospital.  Our client remained in the hospital for over a month because she suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries.  A metal rod was placed in her leg and she was forced to use a walker for nearly a year even though she was only 27 and healed quickly.  The car dealership hired two law firms to defend them and the driver.  It was learned in litigation that the car dealership did little to make sure they only put safe drivers on the road.  Essentially, they just made sure elderly drivers they hired to drive sometimes over 10 hours a day had a driver’s license and a pulse.  They provided no training and did no health checks on these drivers they paid only $8/hour.  Instead of owning up to their mistake, they spend over $100,000.00 on doctors to try and claim that our client’s brain injury healed.  The judge saw right through their nonsense and struck one of their experts and limited the testimony of the brain surgeon they hired from Methodist Hospital.  Both of these experts are notorious experts who make millions of dollars to falsely claim that people “healed” from their brain injuries without peer reviewed literature to support their opinions.  They abuse the privileges of their medical licenses and associations with prestigious medical facilities such as Methodist Hospital for millions of dollars in compensation.  The brain injury lawyer team assembled by Amaro Law Firm put an end to their years of wrongful conduct by showing the court the extent of their deceit.  Shortly before trial and after a full day mediation, the parties agreed to a confidential structured settlement which provided the compensation necessary to take care of our client’s needs for life.
