Truck owner held liable after Oscar’s arm crushed by a faulty tray

Truck owner held liable after Oscar’s arm crushed by a faulty tray

Oscar

Oscar severely injured his elbow when a truck’s faulty tray swung into him. We engaged leading medical experts to secure him lifelong compensation.

After the accident, Oscar required two surgeries, months of rehab, and was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome. He was in constant agony and soon experienced psychological issues. Eventually, he developed a psychological illness that devastated his quality of life. Oscar was unable to work and his condition required ongoing treatment and care.

Our independent medical experts examined Oscar and confirmed that his elbow nerves were damaged and he was unlikely to work again. This evidence substantially increased his compensation, because we could claim both his lost income and potential future earnings. Our team then subpoenaed the truck records and discovered a history of defects prior to Oscar’s accident. With the help of a leading automotive engineer, we proved that the truck’s hinge was not suitable for its heavy load.

Armed with this evidence, we convinced the insurer to settle at mediation. This meant Oscar was spared Court costs and a lengthy trial. In total, he received $1,200,000, including payment for past and future lost wages, medical costs, and day-to-day assistance. Oscar is now free from financial pressure and able to focus on his rehabilitation, family, and future.
