One driver was stopped at an intersection when a tractor-trailer broadsided their vehicle. The driver sustained a traumatic brain injury, resulting in significant cognitive impairment and requiring extensive medical care and therapy. The injured driver had previously worked as an architectural draftsman but was unable to return to work. The lawsuit alleged the truck driver's employer was liable for the driver's negligence in failing to brake properly. The defense argued the truck driver had the right-of-way and the other driver turned unexpectedly.
