Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyers in Philadelphia Recover $715,000
The injury attorneys in Philadelphia of Galfand Berger have achieved significant verdicts and settlements for clients who have been involved in a tractor trailer accident in Philadelphia or a semi truck accident in Philadelphia, throughout Pennsylvania and in New Jersey.
Braden Young rear ended another tractor trailer when driving on Interstate 295 in Woodstown, N.J. Young sustained several injuries: he fractured a kneecap, suffered a non-displaced fracture of his ankle, tore his patella tendon and received several minor lacerations.
Young sued Herbert G. Davis, the operator of the other tractor-trailer, and Intrac Transport, Inc. Davis then counter-sued Young and Gray Trucking, who owned the tractor trailer. The accident had occurred after Davis pulled over to the side of the road and checked his directions. The defense made the argument that Young lost control of his vehicle and slammed into the back of Davis’ vehicle.
Plaintiff's trucking accident attorney argued that a portion of the trailer abutted into the right lane, and that Davis caused the accident. An accident reconstructionist and an expert on trucking testified on the plaintiff’s behalf. In addition the photos taken by the New Jersey State Police supported that impact was in the right lane. Young could not return to truck driving and claimed losses of more than $80,000. The plaintiff settled for $715,000
