The original offer on this case was $0 and the defense completely denied liability.  Our client, a single father of two, worked for a small delivery company as a delivery helper. The sole customer of this small company was a national logistics company.  The national logistics company exercised total control of the small mom and pop operation.  Our client was in. The passenger seat of a box truck when his coworker driver fell asleep at the wheel on a Texas farm road. He woke as he began to veer into oncoming traffic at 55mph but over corrected the box truck, sending it careening into a deep ditch in which it struck a concrete driveway culvert.  Witnesses said it sounded like a bomb went off when the truck struck the concrete.  The front end of the box truck was crushed so badly that our client’s lower body was also crushed and pinned into the truck.  The jaws of life were used by first responders to remove him over an hour later as he waited in pain.  The national logistics company tried to hide behind the small mom and pop operation and claim they had the same worker’s compensation liability protections.  After years of litigation and medical treatment, the case resolved for a sum that our client can get the medical help he needs and take care of himself and his family.
