Prince, Glover & Hayes Reaches Substantial Settlement in Tractor-Trailer Wreck Case

Partner Josh Hayes has reached a substantial settlement in a tractor-trailer wreck case that occurred on 15th Street in Tuscaloosa. The defendant tractor trailer driver attempted to make a wide right turn from the far left lane, crossing over all three lanes of traffic. Our client was in the right lane and her car was pushed under his tractor trailer. She sustained serious injuries, including a punctured lung and a serious arm laceration. She spent seven days in the hospital and underwent numerous surgical procedures. She also had to have the assistance of a home health care nurse for a month. She continues to suffer from her injuries sustained in the wreck.

Mr. Hayes hired a transportation and safety compliance expert to look at the case. The expert found that the tractor-trailer driver had multiple speeding tickets and accidents and was driving in violation of the 14 hour max on duty driving rule. In addition, the company the driver worked for was in violation of numerous Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations- they failed to correctly qualify him, failed to properly conduct annual reviews, accepted the driver’s falsified driving logs, and dispatched him even though he was in violation of the 14 hour rule. With such a strong case against the defendants, they decided to settle. In addition, Mr. Hayes increased our client’s recovery amount by working with Blue Cross Blue Shield to achieve a reduction in her medical bills. Prince, Glover & Hayes handles tractor-trailer accidents from all over the state of Alabama.

Josh Hayes Settles Hale County 18-Wheeler Case

Partner, Josh Hayes, recently reached a $425,000 settlement in an 18-wheeler case filed in Hale County. Our client was attempting to make a left turn off of Highway 69. To execute the turn, he slowed down and placed his left-hand turn signal on. Traveling behind our client was a log truck whose operator was recklessly exceeding the speed limit. Without slowing down, the operator struck our client from behind. The impact pushed our client into the oncoming lane of traffic, causing him to collide with another vehicle. As a result of the multiple impacts, our client suffered serious bodily injury.

The driver of the log truck had several previous driving infractions and, amazingly, the company was not even approved by the applicable state and federal agencies to be on the roads. Mr. Hayes was able to achieve a favorable settlement for our client before the case went to trial. Prince, Glover, & Hayes specializes in litigating 18 wheeler cases.
