Collision attorney Fred Pritzker settled a semi truck accident collision case this month for 2.56 million dollars. The clients, a husband and wife in their sixties, were returning from a family reunion when their automobile was hit from behind by a semi-truck. The initial impact caused their vehicle to lose control, cross the center median and collide head-on with an SUV traveling in the opposite direction. The husband suffered a traumatic brain injury and both the husband and wife had extensive orthopedic injuries.
