Schafer & Schafer Injury Attorneys recently secured a $17 million settlement for a woman who suffered serious, life-changing injuries when a commercial truck ran a red light and struck her vehicle.
The case was referred to attorney Todd Schafer specifically because of his experience handling complex trucking accident cases. The $17 million recovery is one of the largest settlements of its kind in Indiana history.
Truck Accident Leaves Woman With Life-Changing Injuries
The crash happened when a commercial truck driver ran a red light and T-boned the woman's vehicle.
She suffered several serious injuries, including:
- Loss of an eye
- Fractures to both femurs, requiring surgery
- A fractured wrist
- A mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI)
The injuries required extensive medical treatment and left her facing a difficult recovery.
Serious truck accidents can cause multiple injuries that affect nearly every part of a person's life. In this case, the combination of orthopedic injuries, permanent vision loss, and a traumatic brain injury made it especially important to account for the full impact of the crash.
