New Mexico Semi Truck Accident Verdict From Far Away

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

A New Mexico semi truck accident that occurred near Tucumcari resulted in a $15.3 million verdict for the injured plaintiffs.  The New Mexico semi truck accident victim sustained a severe spinal cord injury and will no doubt have enormous future medical expenses.  What makes the case unique is that although it is a New Mexico semi truck accident case, the trail occurred not in New Mexico, but rather Kansas.  The trial occurred in U.S. District Court, and had jurisdiction over the New Mexico accident.

As evidenced by the high semi truck accident verdict, the injuries were severe.  The Plaintiff had roughly $5 million in medical expenses alone.  As is common in New Mexico semi truck accident cases, the injuries are massive and the insurance often substantial.  In this particular New Mexico truck accident case, the defendant was Swift Transportation, and company that is often used by stores such as Wal-Mart.
