Lawsuit Filed for Family Injured in Pennsylvania Crash

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Claire Schindler, and Chris Adkins filed a lawsuit in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania on behalf of a family who was severely injured in a commercial motor vehicle accident.

While this family was on the interstate, a reckless commercial driver was traveling at high speeds. The driver also failed to pay attention while speeding and violently rear-ended the family’s vehicle. The impact of the crash severely injured the family’s heads, necks, and other parts of their bodies that have already required invasive and extensive medical treatment.

Because of the catastrophic nature of these injuries, the family has a long and costly road of recovery ahead of them. In fact, their lives may never be the same again. All because of a completely preventable accident. Commercial vehicles can inherently deal more damage in a wreck that most other vehicles, so the companies that staff and train these drivers must ensure that they are true professionals who won’t risk others’ safety on the road. When commercial drivers fail to drive with basic care and attention, it shows a failure on the part of the employer, a failure to vet, train, and supervise drivers adequately. And it leads to preventable, devastating crashes like the one this family experienced.

At Arnold & Itkin, our motor vehicle accident attorneys have a proven track record of going after negligent truck companies who try to get away with boosting their bottom line instead of keeping their employees and other people on the road safe. We are proud to help this family in their fight for justice.
