$4,000,000 Settlement in Texas CMV Collision Case

The Ammons Law Firm secured a $4,000,000 settlement on behalf of a husband and wife who were seriously injured when a commercial truck ran a red light and slammed into their vehicle.

The couple was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, they proceeded through the intersection as anyone would. A commercial truck approaching from the cross street disregarded the red light and crashed into their car with tremendous force.

Both husband and wife were rushed to the hospital by ambulance. The wife suffered internal injuries, multiple fractures, and spinal injuries, and had to be intubated in intensive care. Her husband suffered fractured ribs, bruising, and internal injuries of his own. Neither did anything to cause or contribute to the crash.

This case is a good example of why the medical bills alone never tell the whole story. The couple had comparatively modest medical expenses, but the impact on their lives, their independence, and the years they had left together was significant. It took careful work to show the company that employed the truck driver what that impact really meant.

Ammons Law pursued claims against the trucking company on theories of negligence, and secured a settlement that reflected the true value of what the couple lost, well beyond their medical bills. It stands as one of the larger recoveries of its kind for clients whose special damages were relatively modest.
