$3.5 million truck accident verdict awarded

A jury has awarded James Fairley $3.5 million for injuries he sustained from a truck accident in 2008. Fairley, 56, has suffered from traumatic brain injury, two fractured vertebrae, and depression caused by the crash.

The truck accident occurred in August 2008 when Fairley's van was suddenly rear ended by a tractor-trailer owned by Schiber Truck Co. The truck driver was not able to stop in time and swung into the rear of the van, shoving it into traffic. The van was then struck by another semitrailer.

Fairly must now walk with a cane and says that he is no longer able to conduct simple activities such as reading and dancing. He also suffers from memory problems and has a difficult time staying focused.

The verdict award Fairley $3.5 million for reimbursement of damages such as lost wages, medical expenses, and mental anguish.
