Ken Wilson, an attorney based in Atlanta, has successfully secured a $2.99 million settlement for clients involved in a commercial truck accident. The collision occurred on September 27, 2023, at the intersection of Rackley Road and Highway 52.
The incident involved a Toyota Tacoma driven by the client and a Ford Super Duty truck that was speeding 15 miles over the limit. The impact pushed the client's vehicle into a parked car at a nearby gas station, while the truck continued moving before stopping.
The client sustained serious injuries, including fractures to ribs, scapula, and spine. Despite these injuries, citations were issued to the client by the responding officer who claimed responsibility lay with him.
The lawsuit argued that the truck driver was operating within his employment scope and that there was inadequate screening or supervision by his employers. Evidence presented during proceedings suggested awareness of traffic signs should have prevented the crash if speed limits were adhered to.
Beasley Allen Law Firm emphasized their history of success in similar cases, highlighting their experience in securing compensation for clients affected by trucking accidents. They encourage individuals impacted by such incidents to seek legal assistance.
