A truck driver from Virginia was injured on the job. He was first turned down for workers compensation, but after changing counsel, he eventually won a settlement.

The truck driver’s delivery truck broke down and he pulled it over just past the entrance of a building. The driver worked in the back of the truck while he waited for help. While he did this, a truck pulled out of the defendant’s property turned right and stuck the plaintiff’s truck. This caused the plaintiff to hit the windshield headfirst.

The truck driver had a pre-existing neurological condition that was almost asymptomatic before the accident. The accident made it worse. The plaintiff won a settlement after mediation.
