Our client, a 31-year-old male, was involved in a severe rear-end collision while stopped in stop-and-go traffic on a highway in Compton, CA. The defendant, operating a commercial motor vehicle, failed to pay attention to the traffic ahead, resulting in a collision that pushed our client’s vehicle into the rear of another vehicle. The defendant’s actions violated California Vehicle Codes 21703 and 22350, which regulate safe following distances and reasonable driving speeds.
As a result of the collision, our client sustained significant injuries to his head, neck, and back, incurring $372,000 in medical expenses.
