LAWSUITS NEWS & LEGAL INFORMATION
Overnite Transportation
This is a settlement for the Car Accidents (National) lawsuit.
On March 15, 1999, a tractor-trailer operated by the defendant's driver in Clarke County crossed over the center line of Route 340 and ran nearly head-on into the Plaintiff's Toyota Corolla, as he tried desperately to avoid the truck. The truck driver had not seen a car slowing in front of him to make a left turn, braked too late, jackknifed, and slid into the plaintiff's lane of traffic.
The plaintiff, a 42-year-old flight attendant, struck his head and left knee in the wreck, suffered a collapsed lung, and broke his foot and several ribs. He lost consciousness twice at the scene and sustained a mild traumatic brain injury. The plaintiff tore his ACL and PCL in his left knee, underwent three surgeries, with extensive recuperation required each time, and still has significant impairments that significantly affect his ability to run with his children and play sports, and that make his work more difficult. He continues to suffer the effects of his mild brain injury in areas such as memory, organization, and cognitive fatigue. Overnite agreed to a $1.8 million personal injury settlement. (Jul-01-05)
