Grandmother & Grandchildren Injured in Odessa Truck Crash

Arnold & Itkin has filed suit on behalf of a Texas grandmother and her three grandchildren who suffered significant injuries after a commercial truck violently rear-ended their vehicle in Odessa.

According to the lawsuit, the truck driver failed to keep a proper lookout and maintain a safe following distance before crashing into the family’s vehicle. The grandmother suffered injuries to her neck, collarbone, chest, back, shoulder, and arm, all serious injuries at any age, but now they’re especially impactful on her quality of life and ability to remain independent at her stage of life. Her grandchildren suffered injuries to their stomachs, necks, faces, and other parts of their bodies. What should have been an ordinary driver turned into a frightening ordeal for the family, all because a commercial driver failed to follow basic roadway safety rules.

Rear-end collisions caused by following too closely are among the most preventable crashes on the road, and trucking companies bear responsibility for ensuring that their drivers always maintain safe distances. Our personal injury lawyers will continue fighting to hold trucking companies and unsafe commercial drivers accountable, especially when their negligence harms families on Texas roads.
