Multi-Vehicle Accident: $2.4 Million Recovery

The Challenge

Our client, a 42-year-old construction manager and father of three, was severely injured in a multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 95 when a commercial truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. The collision involved five vehicles and resulted in our client suffering multiple fractures, traumatic brain injury, and internal injuries requiring extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation.

The case presented several challenges:

• The trucking company initially denied responsibility, claiming our client had contributed to the accident
• Insurance companies for multiple vehicles disputed liability percentages
• Documenting the full extent of our client's injuries and future care needs
• Calculating long-term lost earnings potential due to permanent disabilities

Our Approach

The The Law Office Of Alicia Jeskey team immediately launched a comprehensive investigation:

• Partnered with accident reconstruction experts to establish the sequence of events and prove the truck driver was at fault
• Obtained and analyzed the truck driver's logs, revealing multiple hours-of-service violations
• Conducted extensive discovery that uncovered the trucking company's history of safety violations
• Worked with medical experts to document current injuries and project future care needs
• Collaborated with economic experts to calculate lifetime lost earnings

The Result

Through aggressive negotiation and thorough preparation for trial, we secured a $2.4 million settlement that provided:

• Complete coverage of all past and projected future medical expenses
• Compensation for lost wages during recovery
• Funds for necessary home modifications to accommodate our client's mobility issues
• Substantial compensation for pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and emotional distress
• Financial security for our client's family

Most importantly, this result allowed our client to focus exclusively on his recovery and adapting to his new circumstances without the financial burden and stress of mounting medical bills.
