According to the US Department of Transportation, there are more than 2 million tractor-trailer trucks on the road in the U.S. Unfortunately, there are over 530,000 accidents involving large trucks each year. Approximately 112,000 of these result in significant injury. More than 5,000 people are killed in tractor-trailer collisions each year.

Commercial Truck Accident Causes Permanent Injuries:
James, was a passenger in a car travelling through an intersection on a
green light. The defendant truck driver was travelling in the opposite
direction and was looking at his cell phone. The truck driver turned left,
directly into the path of the car in which James was riding. As a result
of the collision, James suffered permanent injuries, including fractures
to his spine, foot and knee. He was in a body brace for an extended period
and required multiple surgeries. Gene Miller and Ed Weiner negotiated
a $1,300,000 settlement for James.
92 Year-Old Pedestrian Struck by a Delivery Truck:
On Christmas Eve afternoon, 92 year-old Nate left home for his daily ritual
-- a 1.5 mile walk in Reston. As he stepped off the curb into the crosswalk
(on the “Walk” signal), he was struck by an express delivery
truck making a right turn. Nate was critically injured and spent months
in the hospital and in a rehab facility before returning home. While he
was still able to move around his home, Nate was no longer able to go
on his daily walks. Ed Weiner negotiated with the large international
delivery company and got Nate a settlement in excess of $1,000,000.
Septic Company Held Liable for Crash:
Samuel's car was T-boned (struck broadside), when the defendant driver
of a tanker truck ran a red light and collided with Samuel's car. He suffered
severe back and neck injuries. Although he was in significant pain, his
doctors advised against surgery. The final offer from the defendant's
insurance company was $100,000. At trial, Ed Weiner and Lawson Spivey
were able to show the jury that the defendant septic company had a long
history of poorly-maintained vehicles. At the conclusion of the trial,
a jury awarded Samuel $390,000, which included punitive damages due to
the company's poor maintenance of their vehicles.
