18 Wheeler Wreck Settlement for Madison, Georgia Wrongful Death
In this case, two big rigs crashed into one another near Madison, GA. One of the trucks, owned by Crain Plumbing, was being driven by a truck driver who was blind in his right eye! This condition deprived him of depth perception. The Crain truck driver was traveling north, but swerved into the southbound lane, where the second tractor trailer was traveling. (The Crain driver later said a pickup truck had pulled out in front of him). The second truck was being driven by a 44-year old driver. Her 45-year old husband was in the cabin with her, asleep. The driver was killed, and her husband was very seriously injured.
Given the circumstances, the parties reached a settlement for $12,000,000. $6,000,000 was allocated to the deceased driver's estate, and $6,000,000 to the surviving husband.
