Case Filed for Business Owner Injured by Commercial Driver

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Claire Schindler, and Chris Adkins filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Texas woman who was severely injured a crash caused by a commercial driver. This negligent driver failed to change lanes safely and sideswiped her vehicle. Our client is a business owner who runs a company, and this crash has impacted every aspect of her life.

Due to the recklessness and inattentiveness of the commercial driver, our client suffered severe injuries to her head, neck, right knee, right wrist, lower back, and other parts of her body that have already required invasive and extensive medical treatment. The injuries to her right knee are so severe that she still has trouble putting weight on it. She experiences lower back pain and feels weak all over her body. The crash has left her with visible scarring that she believes will be permanent, and she can no longer lift, stand, or walk for long periods of time. In fact, running is now impossible for her.

The psychological impact has been just as devastating as the physical injuries. Our client is dealing with PTSD and anxiety from the crash, and she has developed a stutter as a result of the trauma. These are life-altering changes that affect her ability to run her business and live her daily life.

Commercial drivers are required to change lanes safely and check their surroundings before moving into another lane. This is basic driving safety that every commercial driver should know. When transportation companies fail to properly train their drivers on safe lane-change procedures or neglect to monitor their drivers' performance, innocent people suffer catastrophic injuries.

The motor vehicle accident lawyers at Arnold & Itkin are committed to seeking justice for our client. We will work tirelessly to hold both the negligent commercial driver and the transportation company accountable for the permanent injuries and trauma they have caused.
