Case Filed for Metro Driver Injured by Commercial Vehicle

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Claire Schindler, and Chris Adkins filed a lawsuit in Harris County on behalf of a Houston Metro driver who was severely injured in a crash with another vehicle. The negligent commercial vehicle driver failed to pay attention, drove recklessly, and failed to control his speed, causing a collision with our client.

Our client is a professional CDL driver who operates Metro vehicles and takes her job seriously. Because of this crash caused by another commercial driver's negligence, she has suffered severe injuries to her head, neck, and lower back, with her back and neck hurting the most. She is experiencing debilitating headaches and possibly a traumatic brain injury. The pain radiates from her neck to her back, and she also has shoulder pain on both sides and left knee pain. These injuries have already required invasive and extensive medical treatment.

The impact on her career is devastating. Our client needs to renew her medical certificate in the future to maintain her CDL, but her injuries may prevent her from passing the physical examination required to continue driving professionally. This crash has not only caused her immense physical pain and suffering but also threatens to take away the career she has worked hard to build.

Commercial vehicle drivers are required to control their speed, pay attention to the road, and drive safely, especially when sharing the road with others. Too often, transportation companies prioritize speed and delivery schedules over safety, leading to inadequate driver training and poor oversight. When companies put dangerous drivers on the road, other professional drivers like our client suffer catastrophic consequences.

The motor vehicle accident lawyers at Arnold & Itkin are committed to fighting for our client and seeking the compensation she deserves.
