Settlement for $125k in accident due to inattentive truck driver on I-81

Gentry Locke for the Plaintiff

Pulaski County Circuit Court

The driver of a truck on I-81 in Pulaski County rear-ended our client’s car when traffic had come to a stop. He was unable to stop in time as a result of not paying attention to traffic conditions.

As a result of his inattentive driving, our client suffered injuries to her neck and back. Attorneys for the truck driver claimed that her injuries were the result of extensive pre-existing conditions and were not caused by the crash. Despite the dispute over the cause of the injuries, the defense settled the case for $125,000 following depositions of the parties.

Lloyd J. Eisenberg of Maryland was co-counsel on the case.
