April 2025 – $3M Auto vs. Semi-Truck Collision
Case Summary:
Partner David Shay and his legal team at Vaziri Law Group secured a $3 million settlement for our client, following a devastating collision involving a semi-truck. The crash left him with serious orthopedic and neurological injuries, including a traumatic brain injury and permanent spinal damage. The life-altering impact of the incident forced him to step away from his career as a union engineer operator for over two years.
Facts of the Case:
Our client was involved in a high-impact auto versus semi-truck crash. The collision caused significant trauma to his spine and brain, leading to prolonged disability and cognitive challenges. The defendant's failure to operate the commercial vehicle safely directly contributed to the crash, placing full liability on the trucking party.
Treatment:
He underwent multiple surgeries, including an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion to address spinal damage. He suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) with long-lasting symptoms such as headaches, amnesia, dizziness, and seizures. His treatment involved both surgical and non-surgical care, ongoing neurological support, and rehabilitative therapy aimed at managing persistent cognitive and physical impairments.
Legal Strategy:
The team worked with medical specialists and vocational experts to establish the scope of client's losses, including approximately $288,000 in lost wages due to a two-year interruption in his work as a union engineer operator. By building a comprehensive damages profile and proving clear liability, the team negotiated a substantial settlement that addressed both his economic and non-economic damages.
Pursuing Justice:
This $3 million settlement reflects our mission to help clients reclaim stability after catastrophic events. Our client faced a profound disruption to his career and well-being due to someone else's negligence. At Vaziri Law Group, we are committed to fighting for fair outcomes that honor our clients' resilience and restore the support they need to move forward.
