Our client, a 53-year-old female, was severely injured in a collision caused by a commercial driver who ran a stop sign at high speed in Huntington Park, CA. Despite disputes, a $900,000 settlement was secured to cover her extensive medical expenses and ongoing treatment.
Our client, a 53-year-old female, was traveling on a public street in Huntington Park, CA, when the defendant, driving a commercial motor vehicle, negligently ran a stop sign at high speed. This reckless action resulted in a severe collision with the driver’s side of our client’s vehicle, pushing it into another vehicle. The defendant’s conduct was in clear violation of California Vehicle Codes 22450, 22350, and 23103, which govern the proper observance of stop signs, safe driving speeds, and reckless driving.
As a direct consequence of the collision, our client sustained significant injuries to multiple areas of her body, including her head, neck, back, shoulders, wrists, abdomen, and feet. These injuries led to $250,000 in medical expenses, including lumbar spine injections and neurocognitive rehabilitation for a mild traumatic brain injury. Despite the defendant disputing liability and the necessity of her medical treatment, expert testimony confirmed the reasonableness of her injuries and ongoing care.
This case highlights the severe consequences of reckless driving and the critical importance of adhering to traffic laws. The successful recovery of $900,000 for our client ensures she is adequately compensated for her injuries, medical expenses, and future treatment needs, reinforcing the duty of care owed by drivers to others on the road.
