According to the Florida Times-Union, a Florida jury recently awarded a woman 13 million dollars ($13,000,000.00) as a result of injuries suffered in a 2005 car accident with a logging truck. On a 2005 morning just before dawn, the logging truck driver had just made a U-turn on a Florida highway when the victim’s car crashed into the broad side of the truck and was crushed underneath the logs. The victim, a passenger in the car, ended up in a coma for over a month and is still recovering from the crash. She suffered short-term memory loss and requires 24-hour supervision. The jury determined the truck driver and owner were negligent because the truck was dimly lit at the time of the accident. The damages are to cover the victim’s medical expenses and pain and suffering.

It is important for your NST lawyer to begin investigating the accident as soon as possible. Your NST lawyer may consult with a forensic expert to recreate the scene of the accident to prove the truck driver’s negligence. If the investigation is not conducted in a timely fashion, key evidence can be lost on Tennessee highways such as Interstate 40, Interstate 240, Interstate 55, and Interstate 24. In addition, NST lawyers are familiar with federal and Tennessee trucking regulations. These laws are often complex, requiring truck drivers to comply with many safety regulations. For example, truck drivers can only drive for a certain number of hours each day. Your NST lawyer may consult with trucking experts to determine if the truck driver violated any of these laws at the time of the accident. Since trucking accidents can cause severe and permanent injuries, NST lawyers fight for clients to recover maximum damages for medical bills, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and lost wages. In the past, NST lawyers have retained economic experts to document medical expenses and medical experts to create day in the life videos and life care plans.
