$900,000 – Dump Truck Rear Ended Car on Highway

Our client, a 60-year-old male, was traveling on a Maryland highway in his work vehicle when a dump truck rear-ended him from behind. The truck accident caused him to sustain permanent injuries to his shoulder and lower back.

The trucking company and driver claimed the collision occurred due to an emergency brake failure. The Yost Legal Group worked with an expert large truck mechanic to prove that the subject brake failure was due to the trucking company’s negligent failure to properly inspect and maintain the dump truck. We proved that the supposed brake failure was, in fact, caused by the trucking company’s negligence. Additionally, they failed to conduct proper inspections and adhere to maintenance protocols, including their own internal policies and the standards required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
