Delivery driver hit by a fatigued trucker on I‑285. The carrier’s first offer was $350,000.
Our client was stopped in traffic near the Ashford Dunwoody exit when a tractor‑trailer hit him at 51 miles an hour. He spent nine days at Grady and couldn’t lift a package for most of a year.
The trucking company’s insurer called it a fender‑bender with a sore back. We pulled the driver’s electronic logs, which showed 16 hours on duty, and the carrier’s own dispatch messages telling him to keep going.
They didn’t want those in front of a Fulton County jury. They ended up there anyway. The jury was out for under four hours.
