A high-speed collision on an interstate left the plaintiff with a complete thoracic spinal cord injury, lifelong wheelchair use, and the full life-care cost burden that comes with it.
A high-speed collision on an interstate highway resulted in a complete thoracic-level spinal cord injury to the plaintiff. The at-fault driver's commercial liability coverage was supplemented by additional defendant theories.
Accident reconstruction established the at-fault driver's speed and lane behavior. Additional liability was pursued against a commercial entity whose vehicle scheduling and operational pressure placed the driver in the high-speed condition.
The plaintiff sustained a complete thoracic spinal cord injury, requiring lifelong wheelchair use, home modification, vehicle adaptation, and ongoing attendant care. A board-certified physiatrist documented the full life-care plan.
A jury returned an $8.7M verdict apportioned among the driver and commercial defendant.
