With more than 35 years of experience representing plaintiffs who have sustained serious personal injuries or financial losses, the trial lawyers of BIREN|KATZMAN have successfully handled hundreds of cases, collecting more than $250 million for our clients. The following case is just one example:
NATION V. ROE TRUCKING CO.
Employer Of Novice Big Rig Driver Settles With Man With Broken Thigh Bone For $887,500
Vance Nation, a 29 year old driver of a box van was broad sided by defendant's jack knifed tractor-trailer. Defendant claimed that its driver had appropriately responded to a third vehicle which had changed lanes in front of the truck.
BIREN|KATZMAN established, through accident reconstruction that the accident did not happen as the big rig driver claimed, but rather that the driver had made an unsafe lane change. Extensive discovery regarding the operational practices of defendant trucking company established that the driver was inappropriately trained and overworked, contributing to the cause of the accident.
Mr. Nation sustained a segmental fracture of the femur (thigh bone), requiring open reduction, as well as knee instability and laxity (not operated).
The Riverside case settled for $887,500.
