Representing Louisiana Man Injured by Reckless Driver

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Claire Schindler, and Chris Adkins filed a case in Caddo Parish, Louisiana on behalf of a man who was hurt in a crash with a commercial vehicle.

Because of the massive vehicles they operate, and their potential to cause devastation, commercial drivers carry an elevated responsibility every time they get behind the wheel. This also means their employers are also responsible for ensuring that each of their drivers is fully vetted, trained, and monitored. When these parties fail to meet basic standards of safety, innocent people pay the price.

While our client was on the road, a negligent commercial vehicle driver failed to pay attention, drove recklessly, and failed to maintain a single lane. The injuries our client sustained as a result are severe and deeply disruptive to every aspect of his life. He suffered catastrophic injuries to his head, neck, lower back, and other parts of his body that have already required intensive and costly medical treatment. Because of his spinal cord injuries, his legs go numb and produce a pins-and-needles sensation whenever he sits or squats for any length of time. His right middle finger turned black and swelled up after the crash. Perhaps most alarming, he now experiences electrical shock sensations shooting down his right arm whenever he picks anything up. This symptom can point to serious nerve involvement, signaling the kind of damage that doesn’t heal easily or quickly.

Our client is a data quality inspector and engineer who performs critical work for major data centers. His job demands precision, reliability, and the kind of clean professional record that reflects years of dedication. He missed some work immediately after the crash, and now his quality of life and ability to focus and work at the same capacity as before have been fundamentally disrupted by a violent and preventable collision.

The motor vehicle accident attorneys at Arnold & Itkin are committed to holding this driver and their employer accountable and securing the compensation our client needs to cover his medical bills, lost wages, and the ongoing pain and suffering he faces.
