Veselin Popovic v. Star Leasing, Inc. et al.(2005)

Recovery: $400,000.00

In this case, one tractor trailer rear-ended another tractor trailer in upstate New York. The impact was so severe that it broke the ICC bar off of our client’s truck and also broke his seat off of its steal frame. Mr. Popovic, who was a foreign immigrant, suffered severe injuries to his neck and upper extremities, resulting in a frozen neck and left shoulder. He was permanently disabled, as he could no longer drive a truck nor could he return to his prior job of installing swimming pools. The defense denied liability and alleged contributory negligence, even though this was a rear-end collision. Discovery was extensive on both sides, with each side identifying and deposing several experts. Mediation resulted in an impasse, but the case settled just prior to trial.
