Ringsmuth Wuori PLLC Helps Injured Truck Driver Recover Maximum Available Compensation

A longtime truck driver from the Lansing area was doing what he had done for years—driving to work—when his life was forever changed. Without warning, his vehicle was blindsided by a speeding truck filled with teenagers who had reportedly been up all night celebrating the end of the school year. The other driver, ignoring a stop sign and attempting to outrun our client through an intersection, caused a violent crash that sent our client’s vehicle careening into a nearby field.

The collision left him with serious and lasting injuries, including a traumatic brain injury marked by a brain bleed, concussion, and loss of consciousness. Despite extensive therapy and years of recovery, he was no longer able to return to his profession as a truck driver—cutting short his working years and altering the course of his life.

Ringsmuth Wuori PLLC made a demand for the full liability policy limits available under the negligent driver’s insurance coverage. However, we were forced to file a lawsuit and litigate the case through advanced stages of litigation before the full $1 million in policy limits was finally tendered, just ahead of trial.

While no amount of money can undo the physical and emotional trauma this family has endured, we are proud to have secured the maximum compensation available. This case is a sobering reminder of how quickly negligence on the road can shatter lives—and how crucial it is to hold those responsible accountable.

Our client and his family faced this ordeal with strength and determination. It was an honor to stand by them and pursue justice in the face of devastating circumstances, even as we recognized the frustrating reality that available recovery was limited by insurance policy caps.
