Overview

Our client, a 62-year-old male, was driving his pickup truck, towing a trailer, in the slow lane of a highway in Victorville, CA, when his trailer was severely rear-ended by the defendant’s truck. The force of the collision pushed our client’s vehicle onto a concrete barrier, causing significant damage. The defendant’s reckless driving violated multiple California Vehicle Codes, including following too closely, driving at unsafe speeds, and reckless driving.

Results

As a result of the collision, our client sustained injuries to his head, neck, and lower back, necessitating cervical spine surgery and resulting in ongoing pain that requires intermittent chiropractic and physical therapy. His medical expenses totaled $579,000. Despite the defendant’s challenges to the claims and the necessity of the treatment, expert testimony confirmed that the injuries and treatments were reasonable and necessary. Messrs. Khakshooy and Agarwal successfully recovered $1,300,000 for our client.

Conclusion

This case highlights the severe consequences of reckless driving and the importance of holding negligent drivers accountable. The substantial settlement secured for our client ensures he has the necessary resources for his ongoing medical care and recovery.
