Overview

Our client, a 31-year-old male, was involved in a severe rear-end collision while stopped in stop-and-go traffic on a highway in Compton, CA. The defendant, operating a commercial motor vehicle, failed to pay attention to the traffic ahead, resulting in a collision that pushed our client’s vehicle into the rear of another vehicle. The defendant’s actions violated California Vehicle Codes 21703 and 22350, which regulate safe following distances and reasonable driving speeds.

Results

As a result of the collision, our client sustained significant injuries to his head, neck, and back, incurring $372,000 in medical expenses. His injuries necessitated lumbar spine surgery and ongoing physical therapy, as well as neurocognitive rehabilitation for a mild traumatic brain injury. Despite the defendant’s disputes regarding the extent of the injuries and the necessity of the treatments, expert testimony confirmed their reasonableness and necessity.

Conclusion

Through diligent legal representation, Messrs. Khakshooy and Agarwal successfully secured a $1.5 million settlement for our client, ensuring compensation for his substantial medical expenses and future treatment needs. This case highlights the critical importance of adhering to traffic laws designed to prevent such avoidable accidents.
