$1,400,000 Tractor Trailer Accident – Truck Negligently Merged Into Client’s Lane

A 50-year-old woman was on her way to work when her life changed in an instant. A tractor-trailer conducted an unsafe lane change, merging into her lane and pulling her car in front of the massive truck. The impact caused her vehicle to be pushed several hundred feet down the highway, leaving her with aggravated cervical and lumbar disc injuries as well as PTSD.

At The Yost Legal Group, we understood the profound impact this traumatic event had on her life. We worked closely with her, her family, and her former coworkers to illustrate how these injuries affected her day-to-day activities, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. Our experienced truck accident lawyers thoroughly investigated the case, taking depositions from both the truck driver and a corporate representative of the trucking company. Through our efforts, we were able to establish that the driver made an unlawful and dangerous lane change, and the trucking company failed to properly train and oversee its drivers in operating commercial vehicles safely.
