A man driving a moving truck, along with his wife, who was a passenger, were seriously injured when a driver for an armored trucking company drove into the rear of his vehicle on I-44 in Oklahoma. The clients were operating their moving truck lawfully and within their lane when the semi-tractor trailer slammed into them from the rear. The impact forced their vehicle off the roadway and caused it to overturn. The husband sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and multiple orthopedic injuries. The wife sustained a concussion and a whiplash injury. The client filed suit in federal court in Oklahoma to obtain jurisdiction over the foreign corporation.

The key to resolving the case in favor of the clients was hiring and retaining the best expert witnesses for the clients’ specific injuries: a medical doctor highly experienced in traumatic injuries; a neuropsychologist experienced in testifying about the long-term, debilitating cognitive effects of a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI); a vocational expert with significant experience in evaluating an injury victim’s vocational losses as they relate to future work/employment; and an economist to present the total economic impact of future damages. We also retained the best experts in the fields of accident reconstruction and highway/trucking safety.
