Truck Driver Hit and Injured During Snowstorm Receives $1.9-Million Settlement
RGG&L partner Michael Glass
Glass’s client was driving a pickup truck on a Suffolk County, Long Island road during the storm. The driver of the tractor trailer, which was traveling in the opposite direction, lost control of his rig on the ice. The trailer portion jackknifed over the center line of the road, demolishing the pickup truck.
The driver of the pickup truck suffered a brain bleed as well as very serious, multiple fractures throughout his body. One of the very serious fractures (to the tibia/fibula) required surgery and the implantation of hardware. RGG&L conducted an early, exhaustive investigation and retained an accident reconstruction expert to reconstruct the events leading up to the disastrous crash as well as an economist to evaluate the economic damages. Glass said he was particularly gratified by the early resolution of this case because it was accomplished before depositions, and for virtually the full amount of insurance proceeds available.
The injured man has been unable to return to work since the accident. He plans to use the settlement money to repay debts he has incurred, and to resurrect several small business he had previously owned and managed.
