Whiting Law Group secured a $5 million settlement for man rear ended by truck driver in a highway. On the evening of December 2, 2017, on Interstate 75 in Macon, GA, plaintiff was rear ended by a semitruck traveling above speed limits in a road construction zone. Plaintiff’s box truck flipped into the adjacent road lane as a result, and caused the plaintiff to be rushed to the emergency room for treatment of the severe injuries sustained. Among the fractures sustained, plaintiff was diagnosed a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) that would subsequently alter his way of life, work and personal relationships.
Whiting Law Group vehemently argued that the driver not only was negligent in failing to reasonably reduce the speed with regard to traffic conditions and keep proper lookout to avoid collision, but that the trucking company was negligent by hiring an unsafe carrier company to haul the freight load.
