$2 Million for Plaintiff Injured in Collision with Semi: Truck Driver Ran Red Light

September 18, 2008 - At approximately 9:30 a.m. on August 23, 2006, a collision occurred between a southbound semi truck and an eastbound Chevrolet Trailblazer at the intersection of I-394 and Steger Road in Crete, Illinois. Rapoport Law Office attorneys David Rapoport and Paul Richter reached a $2,000,000 settlement with the trucking company on behalf of the plaintiff in this case. With expert witness reconstruction Rapoport Law Offices established that the semi truck driver failed to slow for a yellow light, and entered the intersection on a red light at 55-56 mph, smashing into the Trailblazer. The semi truck crash resulted in serious injuries to the plaintiff including a left-sided orbital fracture, multiple rib fractures, pelvic fractures and permanent leg shortening. Fortunately the plaintiff recovered well from her injuries.
