Commercial Pickup Truck Accident (February 2019)

In August of 2017, our client from Sugar Land, Texas was driving a tractor trailer near Las Cruces, New Mexico when another vehicle, a commercial pickup truck, veered into his lane from the opposite direction.  Our client attempted to avoid the collision by moving onto the shoulder but the other truck just kept coming at him and ultimately hitting him.  Our client’s tractor trailer went off the highway into the ditch and rolled over at a high rate of speed.  Witnesses talked to the other driver and he stated he fell asleep.  Our client suffered severe injuries as a result of the wreck.  The insurance company lawyers requested a pre-lawsuit mediation.  The parties were able to resolve the case in mediation for a confidential and substantial sum.
