Buchanan Law Firm, LLC Recovers $3.4 Million in Truck Crash Settlement

Buchanan Law Firm, LLC secured a $3.4 million settlement for a client who suffered injuries after colliding with an illegally parked semi-truck at night on the highway. Our client, who was experiencing a medical emergency, was attempting to safely pull onto the shoulder away from traffic and prevent a crash.

Due to low nighttime visibility, our client was unable to see the illegally parked truck before crashing into it and suffering catastrophic injuries. We successfully argued that the truck driver was negligent in parking on the shoulder and failed to set flares or signage alerting traffic of the truck’s presence.

Crashes with tractor-trailers cause passenger vehicle occupants to suffer severe injuries. Our team at Buchanan Law Firm, LLC has extensive experience litigating complex truck injury claims. If you or a loved one has been injured in a tractor-trailer crash, call 505-900-3559 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation.
