A collision while waiting to turn
Jose was stopped in the left-turn lane on Beaumont Highway, waiting to turn onto F.M. 526. A truck operated for Rebel Trucking struck him from behind.
Connecting the injury to the crash
The trucking company disputed that Jose had been hurt. Vuk and the VB Attorneys team obtained medical records and testimony from healthcare providers addressing the connection between the collision and his neck injury. Jose underwent fusion surgery about a year after the crash and missed substantial work during treatment.
The safety records the company failed to keep
The investigation established failures to conduct required post-crash testing and retain driver qualification, training, supervision, and log records.
The case settled as trial approached
After mediation failed to resolve the dispute, work continued. The case settled for $400,000 as the trial date approached.
