The Plaintiff was a rural telephone repairman who was hit by an 18-wheeler log truck as it careened down a hill traveling in excess of 75 mph. The log truck impaled the Plaintiff’s repair vehicle and hurled it more than 100 yards before it came to a stop. Miraculously, the Plaintiff was not killed. However, he suffered a very serious and debilitating shoulder injury after which he was permanently impaired. The Defendant trucking company refused to accept liability, pleading that the Plaintiff was at fault and that the trucker was trying to steer around him when the accident occurred.
The Law Offices of Peter Miller tried the case to a jury of twelve individuals and obtained the largest jury verdict in the history of Van Buren County on behalf of the Plaintiff.
