Franklin County Tractor Trailer Crash Results in Lawsuit
An injured driver recently filed a tractor trailer injury lawsuit against a big rig driver and the driver’s employer. The plaintiff was allegedly driving west on Interstate 44 in Franklin County, MO when a tractor trailer driver traveling in the same direction lost control of his vehicle. The big rig allegedly collided into the plaintiff’s vehicle, forcing it into a bridge wall.
The plaintiff sustained several severe injuries in this large truck crash in Missouri, ranging from his neck to his back and legs. Allegedly, medical treatment for these injuries cost over $26,000. The injury lawsuit also alleges the plaintiff lost his ability to enjoy and pursue regular daily activities.
The plaintiff claims the tractor trailer driver was negligent because he was speeding, failed to keep a proper lookout, failed to keep his vehicle under control and drove with inadequate brakes. The plaintiff also filed suit against the tractor trailer driver’s employer because the driver was working for M & D Freight, Inc. at the time of this Missouri tractor trailer crash; therefore the employer could be held liable for negligence through its employee.
The plaintiff is seeking over $100,000 to compensate him for the life-altering injuries sustained. Tractor trailer accident injuries in Missouri are often life-threatening and life-altering because the size of a big rig coupled with speed and impact in a collision often leads to severe damages.
