Concetta Lomanto of Maynard, O’Connor, settled a trucking accident matter on behalf of a retired physician from Salt Lake City, Utah, whose left thumb and rotator cuff were significantly damaged upon impact. The doctor’s injuries required surgical repair of the rotator cuff after a 16-wheeled tractor trailer, owned by Werner Enterprises, Inc., failed to stop at a red light. Numerous documents from Werner Enterprises, Inc., such as driving logs, damage appraisals, cell phone records, Bills of Laden, logistical reports for delivery and backhauling, and photographs were examined to determine whether negligence played a part in this accident. It was determined that the truck driver was negligent in his failure to stop, and subsequently Attorney Lomanto was able to secure a $650,000 settlement prior to trial in Federal Court of the Northern District of New York.
Over the past several years, trucking accidents have increased in volume, as has the number of individuals injured by these crashes. Trucking accidents usually cause significantly greater injuries than everyday motor vehicle accidents due to the size and weight load of most commercial and delivery trucks.
