Trucking Collisions
Being involved in a crash with a truck, semi-tractor or trailer can be totally devastating due to the immense forces and weights involved. Your car is no match for these vehicles. As such, there are strict regulations regarding how commercial vehicles can be operated equipped, and limitations on the hours an operator can drive. Knowing these regulations can be the difference between no recovery, a modest recovery and a successful result. The Law Offices of Ray Coleman has successfully handled hundreds of claims against commercial vehicles, ranging from minor whiplashes to paraplegia, paralysis and death. Make certain the lawyer you retain has the skills, knowledge, experience and ability to take on major trucklines and even the playing field for you.
ReSULTS
Case I
I represented a local Certified Nursing Assistant, who was injured in a collision with another car while a passenger. After the first impact, her car was sent into a 360 degree spin, and after it came to a rest was struck by a bobtail semi, who left 75 feet of skidmarks in a 35 mile an hour speed zone. The client had no automobile insurance and came under the indigent care program at Shands Jacksonville. She underwent a C 5-6 fusion surgery on her neck and had continued complaints of neck, arm, low back, leg pain and intractable headaches. In February 2003 a Duval County jury returned a verdict in excess of $ 1,700,000.00.
