Suit Filed for a Teenager Struck by an 18-Wheeler

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Roland Christensen, and Claire Schindler have filed suit for a 17-year-old girl from La Porte, Texas.

Our client was severely injured when the vehicle she was riding in struck the back of an 18-wheeler—because the big rig was pulling out into traffic without enough space to do so. Due to the recklessness and inattentiveness of the truck driver, our client suffered catastrophic injuries to her head, neck, back, sternum, wrist, and other parts of her body that have already required invasive and extensive medical treatment.

Commercial vehicle drivers have a heightened responsibility to operate with caution and skill, and a basic failure to take stock of one’s surroundings can lead to catastrophic accidents and injuries like what our client had to go through. The companies that hire commercial drivers must take appropriate measures to ensure their drivers adhere to traffic laws and put safety first. 

Our 18-wheeler accident lawyers look forward to pursuing justice and fair compensation for our client.

This case was filed in Harris County, Texas.
