Driver gets $2.3 million settlement for head-on with tractor-trailer
A man who claimed a lumbar disc bulge and post-traumatic stress disorder in a head-on crash agreed to a $2.3 million settlement on Sept. 16. Felix A. Villa claimed that Peter Mejias, driving a tractor-trailer for Russell Transport Inc., crossed the center line. Plaintiff’s counsel argued that Russell Transport had a history of log book violations, and although it had safety policies, it had a poor record of making sure they were followed.
