Truck Accident
Case name: Charlie Miranda v. William James Eichmann
Case #: 30-2022-01266356-CU-PA-CJ`
On the morning of July 29, 2020, Plaintiff, 53, was driving a truck on the I-5 Freeway in Tustin when his truck was rear-ended by a utility truck with a boom lift attached. Plaintiff’s only complaint was dizziness. After we sued the driver, his employer and the owner of the truck, Defendants admitted liability but denied the extent of Plaintiff’s injuries. No police, ambulance, or paramedics came to the scene and no injuries were reported. Plaintiff reported back to work after the accident and his employer told him to go visit a clinic to get evaluated, which he did within 24 hours after the accident. In the multiple meetings with Plaintiff, we learned that he was experiencing dizziness and instability from his head injury, which was permanent and irreversible. We were able to argue that Plaintiff will require vestibular rehabilitation therapy for the remainder of his life. Short of trial, the case was resolved for $1,000,000.00
