A tractor-trailer on the interstate shoulder

Pablo was a passenger in a friend’s car traveling north on I-45 near The Woodlands in the early morning. The car left the roadway and struck a tractor-trailer parked on the shoulder. The truck was operated under Leal Trucking.

Why the truck remained there mattered

Vuk and the VB Attorneys team obtained documents and testimony showing that the truck had been left in a dangerous location and should have been towed before the collision.

The investigation also identified failures to follow federal trucking requirements concerning maintenance and precautions for trucks parked on the shoulder. Those facts gave the case a focus beyond the car’s departure from its lane.

Recovering the available insurance

The case settled for $1,022,510, exhausting the trucking company’s available insurance.
