Case Summary:
Vaziri Law Group and team secured a significant settlement on behalf of a client who suffered long-term, life-altering injuries after being sideswiped on the freeway by a commercial truck operated by the defendants.
Facts of the Case:
Our client was traveling on the freeway when the defendants' truck suddenly veered from the left and sideswiped his vehicle. The impact pushed our client's car onto the right shoulder of the road, causing substantial damage to the entire driver's side door, which required full replacement. The collision occurred without warning and was the direct result of the defendants' unsafe lane change.
Treatment:
Following the incident, our client experienced a range of debilitating symptoms, including severe headaches, cognitive issues such as irritability and difficulty concentrating, numbness, and radiating pain through his neck, mid-back, lower back, and both shoulders. He was evaluated in the emergency room and underwent extensive diagnostic imaging, including x-rays and a cervical MRI. Treatment included chiropractic care, two cervical epidural steroid injections, and a neurosurgical consultation, ultimately leading to an artificial cervical disc replacement (ACDR) surgery at the C4-5 level.
Impact and Damages:
As a result of his injuries, our client has been unable to return to work, leading to significant loss of income. Despite undergoing surgery, he continues to experience permanent limitations in his range of motion, which medical professionals have indicated he will have to live with for the next 30 years.
Pursuing Justice:
Our team worked diligently to establish clear liability, underscore the severity of the injuries, and convey the lasting impact on our client's quality of life. We pursued compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering, and lost earning capacity. With a comprehensive legal strategy and unwavering advocacy, we successfully obtained a settlement that delivered justice and critical support for our client's future.
