It’s asserted defendants shouldn’t have been on the road; case is settled
On Sept. 5, 2008, plaintiff, then 22, was driving north on U.S. 131 near Grand Rapids when a large construction barrel truck pulled directly out in front of her vehicle from the shoulder. This caused her to rear-end the truck and crash into the guardrail. The truck was driven by defendant, who was working in the course and scope of his employment with defendant.
She was knocked unconscious by the impact, which caused severe intrusion into the front driver-side of her vehicle and caused head and ankle injuries. She underwent three surgeries to her right ankle and was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and complex regional pain syndrome.
Type of action: Third-party auto negligence
Type of injuries: Multiple injuries to the right ankle and foot requiring three surgeries, traumatic brain injury, development of complex regional pain syndrome
Court/Case no./Date: St. Clair County Circuit Court; 10-002700-NI; May 9, 2013
