Pedestrian Struck in Marked Crosswalk

Case Background

Our client was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk during daylight hours when a delivery truck driver, rushing to complete his route, failed to yield and struck her at significant speed. She suffered a compound fracture of her femur, torn ligaments in both knees, and a traumatic brain injury from hitting the pavement.

Challenges We Overcame

• Delivery company denied driver was on the clock
• Dash cam footage was initially 'unavailable'
• Defense blamed pedestrian for not looking both ways
• Complex medical treatment from multiple specialists

Our Legal Strategy

We subpoenaed the delivery company's GPS records, proving the driver was actively making deliveries. We obtained traffic camera footage from the city showing the driver never slowed down. Medical experts testified about our client's permanent limitations.

The Outcome

After filing suit, the delivery company and their insurer agreed to a $1.8 million settlement. This covered past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for our client's permanent limp and ongoing pain.
