Rear-end Collision with Semi Truck | Brain/Spinal Injuries

DISCLAIMER: The results are specific to the facts and legal circumstances of each of the clients’ cases and should not be used to form an expectation that the same results could be obtained for other clients in similar matters without reference to the specific factual and legal circumstances of each client’s case.

Our client was a rear passenger in a taxi cab that was rear-ended by a food delivery truck. He was shaken up at the accident and immediately complained of a neck injury. He received conservative care for his neck injury but had no other immediate complaints. Over time, he seemed to change in terms of depression, mood changes, irritability, and disorganization. Approximately, three years after the crash he was diagnosed with a brain injury and began brain injury rehabilitation.

At the time of the accident, our client was enjoying a successful career in marketing, first as a branding executive at a Fortune 500 company, and then as a consultant working for various small to medium-sized businesses. Over time, his falling productivity and lack of motivation caused him to lose his career, his income, and ultimately his home.

While the food company and its insurance company admitted fault for rear-ending the taxi, they never believed the seriousness of the plaintiff’s injuries, and particularly his brain injury. The case was tried before an Orange County jury, which ultimately rendered a verdict in our client’s favor.

Awarded: $1,400,000.00 Jury Verdict
