Big Truck Accident Verdict – But Not in Chicago

Posted By:

A federal court awarded $7 million last month to the family of a truck driver who suffered a wrongful in a two truck accident when his truck was struck by another truck in northern Arkansas. This is another case of a driver who was driving longer hours than mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation rules allowed and was clearly fatigued as shown by the evidence. To exacerbate the accident, the offending driver had a bad driving record and inadequate experience. These factors lead to him crossing into the oncoming lane of traffic and colliding with the decedents truck.
