- Case type: 18-wheeler accident / product liability
- Location: Tenaha, TX
- Injuries: Lung and bowel contusions, severe facial lacerations/deformity (requiring 27 screws and mesh), neck fracture, TBI, and joint injuries
Case Description
The client was operating an 18-wheeler when a tire suddenly blew out. The blowout caused the driver to lose control, and the truck flipped and rolled multiple times. The client sustained life-altering injuries, including significant facial trauma that required reconstructive surgery with a mesh implant and 27 screws.
Legal Strategy
Our attorneys conducted a deep dive into the maintenance and manufacturing records of the tire. We successfully proved that both the manufacturer and the repair facility were aware of the defect prior to the accident.
Challenges
Proving liability in product liability cases is complex. We had to establish a direct link between the known defect and the specific failure that caused the wreck.
Resolution
Settled through mediation for $2,000,000.
