Pennsylvania Truck Accident Lawyer

For 28 years, Attorney Newell has served the needs of accident victims, including those injured in truck accidents.  Summaries of truck accident cases handled by Attorney Newell in Eastern PA are listed below.

Each truck accident case must be analyzed upon a number of factors - including the age of the personal injury victim, their injuries, violations of the PA Vehicle Code and the amount of insurance coverage limits.

The amount of the settlement that Attorney Newell obtained for one truck crash victim does not guarantee the same financial compensation in another personal injury case.

Northampton County, PA

$250,000.00

A police officer was the victim of a truck accident in Bangor, PA.  The Lehigh Valley resident was driving on Market Street when a tractor-trailer driver inexplicably made the decision to look away from the road to read a map!  This gross negligence resulted in the large rig running through a red light and crashing into the officer's police car causing $11,000.00 in property damage.

The truck accident victim was taken by ambulance to Easton Hospital for treatment of significant neck injuries.  An MRI was taken and an Easton neurologist informed the Lehigh Valley resident that he had a herniated disc which required surgery.

The personal injury victim was admitted to Easton Hospital where he was placed under general anesthesia.  A cervical diskectomy and fusion was performed by a Lehigh Valley neurosurgeon.  The Northampton County resident was unable to assume his duties as a police officer for over 5 months.  His medical expert informed him that each disc above and below the fusion site would now have a much higher rate of becoming arthritic due to the surgery and resultant diminished range of motion.

The defense adjuster for the reckless tractor-trailer driver refused to provide the truck crash victim with a reasonable settlement offer.  Attorney Newell filed a lawsuit and shortly thereafter negotiated a $250,000.00 settlement for the truck accident victim.

Monroe County, PA

$80,518.00

A Pocono Mts. resident became a truck accident victim while driving his automobile on I-80.  A tractor-trailer slammed into the rear of his car causing significant property damage.

The personal injury victim was diagnosed as suffering from post-traumatic headaches and post-traumatic cervical spondylosis.  He initially treated with a chiropractor from Mt. Pocono, PA.  When his symptoms did not go away, the truck accident victim was referred to an orthopaedic doctor and a neurologist in the Scranton, PA area.

The gentleman from Tobyhanna, PA was given multiple cortisone injections, nerve block injections and trigger-point injections.  He was ordered by his doctors to stop working so that the injections and their care could provide maximum benefit.

The truck accident victim's insurance company initially refused to pay him for his lost wages under their income protection coverage.  Attorney Newell diligently fought on his behalf and, ultimately obtained settlement payments totaling $80,518.00 for his lost wages and pain & suffering.

Monroe County, PA

$42,500.00

A truck driver from the Stroudsburg, PA area parked his truck at a Home Depot parking lot.  After he got out of his truck and began to walk to the store, a woman lost control of her car and rear-ended the truck.  The truck accident propelled the vehicle into the Pocono Mts. resident, dragging him over 25 feet through the parking lot.

The personal injury victim was taken from the scene by an ambulance to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  X-rays of the Monroe County resident's knee revealed a fracture of the medial femoral condyle.  He was required to wear a knee immobilizer and use crutches.  The truck driver missed nearly four months of work due to this severe injury.

Once the fracture had healed, the truck crash victim completed a rigorous 30 session physical therapy regimen.  This medical process was required to overcome the atrophy in his right leg resulting from six weeks of non-weight bearing.

After the medical care had ended, Attorney Newell ordered the truck accident victim's medical records.  He obtained the car insurance policy limit, as well as an underinsured motorist claim payment for a total payout of $42,500.00.

Monroe County, PA

$35,000.00

A Tobyhanna, PA resident was driving his car on I-80 when he was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer.  Fortunately, the truck accident victim had his foot on the brake at the time of the collision and, therefore, did not crash into the automobile in front of him.

The Pocono Mountains resident initially saw his family doctor in East Stroudsburg and a chiropractor in Mt. Pocono, Pennsylvania.  The truck accident victim continued to complain of severe pain radiating from his neck, down his arms and into his fingertips.

The personal injury victim was referred to a Scranton, PA neurologist who over the course of nine months, administered 5 nerve block injections and 9 trigger point injections into his cervical spine.  Upon the conclusion of the medical care, Attorney Newell was able to negotiate a $35,000.00 settlement for the truck accident victim.

Monroe County, PA

$30,000.00

A truck driver from the Pocono Mts. was driving a tractor-trailer on I-95 when he was rear-ended by a trash truck which was uninsured.  The truck accident victim was thrown forward with such force that his head struck and broke the windshield.

The personal injury victim received emergency room care at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  He was diagnosed with post concussion syndrome and was evaluated by a Stroudsburg, PA neurologist.  In an effort to treat the ongoing headaches and neck pain, the truck accident victim received chiropractic care and physical therapy from an East Stroudsburg chiropractor.

Once the Monroe County resident's medical care had concluded, Attorney Newell made an uninsured motorist claim which resulted in a $30,000.00 settlement for the truck driver.
