Undisclosed Settlement – Georgia Truck Accident Joezer Lopez v. ABC. Inc. and John Doe, No. 1:09-CV-1219 (N.D. Ga. Filed May 7, 2009).


Client suffered lumbar subluxation; myalgia and myositis; cervical subluxation; and thoracic subluxation as a result of a roll over collision with a commercial carrier that fled the scene of the accident on Interstate 285 in Fulton County, Georgia. Wotorson Thompson recovered damages from the uninsured motorist coverage policy.

Client, an Alabama resident, was traveling northbound on I-285 one half mile south of GA-166 in the third lane of travel when a commercial carrier in the fourth lane of travel made an improper lane change and entered Client's lane of travel. The impact of the commercial caused Client's vehicle to traverse the inner two lanes of traffic and violently collide with the highway median wall. Client's vehicle then overturned and came to a final uncontrolled rest on its top in the first and second travel lanes. There were multiple witnesses to the accident as the commercial carrier driver fled the scene of the accident.

Wotorson Thompson was able to reach an amicable undisclosed agreement between Client and the uninsured motorist insurance carrier.
