Our truck driver client from Dallas, Texas was on a team drive in Georgia in 2017.  While asleep in the sleeper birth, his team driver came upon a tractor-trailer in front of him which jackknifed suddenly and flipped onto the highway, thereby blocking the lanes.  The collision at high speeds was inevitable.  After violently colliding with the flipped tractor trailer, our client was thrown from the sleeper birth into the seats and dashboard.  Another tractor trailer behind them narrowly avoided the collision by going off-road.  Our client suffered an ocular fracture, traumatic brain injury, and other neck and back injuries.  Because of the injuries and medical conditions resulting from this wreck, he could not find a job as a truck driver.  A lawsuit was filed in federal court in Georgia to recover his lost earning capacity as a truck driver and damages for his injuries.  Our attorneys worked jointly with colleagues at another law firm in Atlanta to litigate the case.  After nearly a year of litigation against the major U.S. carrier that jack-knifed, the case resolved for a substantial and confidential sum.
