Truck Driver Injured When His Big Rig Was Struck at Highway Speed by Another 18-Wheeler

I’m a truck driver. I was heading to my stop, and they were working on the road up ahead. When I got to a curve, I saw another truck coming really fast. I could see this guy was going to hit me. He hit my trailer, flipped into the middle of the road, jackknifed into the ditch, and his truck went up in flames. I thought to myself, “He’s not going to get out.”

Then someone ran up and told me, “You’d better get out of your truck before it blows up.” I got out, and the paramedics were already there. They took me into the ambulance, took me to the hospital, did some X-rays, gave me some pills, and sent me home. But things weren’t getting any better, and I realized I was going to need help.

That’s when I came across Zehl & Associates. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Once I met them, they were always there to help me and guide me through the process. They took care of everything I needed, exactly when I needed it. They found all the right people for me and walked me through each step.

My doctor told me, “Ken, we’re going to have to go in. We’ll need to put pins in your back and in the front.” I asked, “Is it really that serious?” He said, “Yes, but you’ll get better.” I thank God I went through it and came out on the other side.

I still have my good days and bad days. I still have my problems and don’t have my truck back yet, but I know I’ll be able to take care of my family and my home. Now I have enough to do things I never thought I’d be able to do. My future looks great.

I never wanted an accident, and I never wanted a lawsuit. I hope I never have to go through this again. But if I do, I’ll definitely come back to Zehl & Associates. I know what they’re like, and I look up to them because they’re the best at what they do.
