Big Rig Rollover Caused by Dangerous Highway Merge

Our big rig liability team obtained this multimillion-dollar settlement in a combined wrongful death and injury case for a Stockton couple forced off the road by a fatigued and improperly licensed big rig driver. The Bay Area couple was forced to correct their SUV toward the soft dirt shoulder on the left side of the roadway, where it overturned when the big rig driver made an unsafe lane change into their lane. The couple was traveling next to the semi when it began to merge into their lane. The wife who was riding as a passenger lost her leg in the tragedy.
