Attorneys Adam Lewis and John Grinnan secured a verdict in excess of $5.5 million in Wayne County, Michigan. The trial lasted 2.5 weeks and stemmed from an 18-wheeler-on-18-wheeler accident in rural Ohio. Our client was an interstate driver from Texas who worked throughout the country, primarily in the northern states. The accident occurred at night after a different 18-wheeler unexpectedly exited its lane—causing a severe side-swipe impact. Arnold & Itkin’s client was rushed to the hospital and ultimately spent three days in Ohio and Michigan hospitals before being released to return home to Richmond, Texas.

As a result of the accident, our client suffered a mild traumatic brain injury and spinal injuries. He underwent extensive conservative treatment but did not require surgical intervention for his orthopedic injuries. Doctors testified he would never be able to return to gainful employment due to the incident.

After filing suit in Wayne County, Michigan, where the defendant trucking company is based, Arnold & Itkin aggressively litigated the case and took over nine depositions.

Leading up to trial, the defendants made a $150,000 offer of judgment.

The case was tried before Hon. Judge Berry in the 3rd Judicial Circuit of Michigan and lasted 2.5 weeks. During the trial, the defendants attempted to shift blame for the accident to weather conditions and aggressively accused Arnold & Itkin’s client of magnifying his injuries.

The jury deliberated for two days and rendered a verdict of over $5.5 million, with non-economic damages broken into $340,560 (past) and $4,133,400 (future). Economic damages were broken into $273,000 (past) and $819,000 (future).

“We are extremely proud of this verdict,” said Attorney Adam Lewis. “However, it is even more gratifying knowing that we were able to help our client through some of the toughest times of his life.”
