The Ammons Law Firm has filed a lawsuit against M&J Transport Lines, LLC, and its driver following a collision where a commercial truck allegedly failed to yield the right of way when exiting a private driveway onto a public roadway.

According to the complaint, the tractor-trailer was turning left from a private driveway and allegedly failed to keep a proper lookout. The driver reportedly entered the roadway without yielding, causing a crash that left the occupant of a passenger vehicle with serious injuries.

The lawsuit seeks to hold M&J Transport Lines liable under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, which allows a company to be held responsible when its employee causes harm while acting within the scope of employment. In addition, the company faces direct negligence claims, including failure to properly train and supervise the driver, inadequate safety protocols, and negligent entrustment of the commercial truck.

The injured plaintiff is seeking damages for physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, physical impairment, medical expenses, and loss of earning capacity. The complaint also includes a claim for gross negligence, alleging that the company acted with conscious indifference to public safety by disregarding known risks associated with insufficient training and oversight.
