| California Trucker Awarded $5.5 Million |
A trucker is lucky to be alive after he was swept up into another truck’s duel rear wheels and severely injured.
The trucker was standing outside of his truck locking and inspecting his load. As he was doing this, another semi truck essentially ran him over. The truck driver was struck by the semi and pull up into the duel rear wheels. He was then dragged while hanging upside. During the ordeal his face was crushed and he lost consciousness.
The trucker, who was fortunate to even have survived the accident, sustained a number of catastrophic injuries, including severe and permanent brain damage, crushed facial bones, blindness in one eye, loss of smell and taste, loss of teeth, orthopedic injuries, post traumatic stress disorder, and pain and suffering.
Last month, the trucker was awarded $5.5 million in damages in Alameda County Superior Court.
