A delivery-fleet driver looking at his in-cab device struck stopped vehicles on a freeway — and the carrier's device records told the entire story.
A commercial delivery vehicle struck two passenger vehicles stopped in freeway traffic during clear daytime conditions. Telematics and in-cab device records established active interaction with the company-issued device in the seconds preceding the impact.
The carrier's policy on in-cab device usage and its enforcement records established a pattern of permitted use during operation. Telematics data, dispatch communications, and the driver's own device records, obtained through subpoena, formed a precise timeline.
Multiple injured plaintiffs sustained orthopedic injuries, disc herniation, and one moderate traumatic brain injury, all requiring extended treatment.
A jury returned an $18.5M aggregated verdict across the injured plaintiffs.
