Life-Altering Collision, Life-Changing Recovery: $7.5 Million Settlement for Injured Father After High Speed Rear-End Accident

A 42-year-old local father was driving to work one December morning on I-476 in Montgomery County, PA near Philadelphia when his life was forever changed. A speeding commercial truck hauling heavy equipment slammed into the back of his car at highway speed, damaging the vehicle beyond recognition.

The impact left him with catastrophic injuries including multiple spinal fractures, a traumatic brain injury, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Over the months and years that followed, he endured multiple invasive surgeries including spinal fusions, a cervical discectomy, and the implantation of a permanent spinal cord stimulator. Despite every medical effort, he continues to face daily pain, limited mobility, and a lifetime of some dependence on others.

This crash didn’t just impact his career; it took away the life he loved most. A proud father and once active coach to his young son, he can no longer participate in the activities that once defined their bond without significant limitations. Simple joys like playing catch, coaching soccer, or cheering from the sidelines have been replaced with struggles against pain and mobility.

After extensive litigation, our firm secured a $7.5 million settlement. This recovery will help to provide stability for his family’s future and deliver justice for the life-altering harm he endured.
