$1.315 Million Settlement in Tractor-Trailer Accident Case

June 30, 2007

Rapoport Law Offices, P.C., reached a $1.315 million settlement on behalf of a father whose 10 year-old daughter suffered fatal injuries after the vehicle she was riding in was hit by a semi tractor-trailer that had crossed the median of an interstate highway and entered the oncoming lanes of traffic. The tractor-trailer was hauling in excess of 35,000 pounds of steel contained in 3 coils secured to the flatbed trailer. During the crash sequence, the coils became unsecured and one landed on the vehicle containing the minor child. This case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois last year and a trial was to begin in October.
