A Sudden Crash on I-55 Left Jacob in Pain
Jacob* slammed his brakes when a motorcycle cut him off on I-55. Moments later, a semi-truck rear-ended him with enough force to leave his car badly damaged and Jacob shocked, shaken, and hurt.
His neck and back pain started right away. Days later, the pain had grown serious enough for Jacob to go to the hospital. Scans showed herniated discs at C4-C5, C6-C7, and L5-S1.
Pain, Missed Work, and the Possibility of Surgery
Jacob’s injuries made physical labor difficult. He missed multiple days of work and began medical therapy and treatment to manage the pain. His doctors later recommended surgery, adding more stress to an already difficult situation.
Building the Case Against the Semi-Truck Driver
Jacob came to our Louisiana truck accident lawyers months after the crash when another attorney recommended our firm. We gathered evidence of the semi-truck driver’s negligence and worked to show the full impact of Jacob’s injuries, including his pain, medical expenses, lost wages, and future treatment needs.
During discovery, the insurance company made a confidential settlement offer reflecting what Jacob had been through.
