Semi Truck Company Pays Record Settlement In Fatal Truck Crash

In Will County, part of the Chicago metropolitan area, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, a Minnesota based freight broker paid the highest verdict amount in a fatal semi truck accident civil case in over 50 years.

Jurors on March 20 awarded the record amount to the families of two people killed and another with serious injuries as a result of the semi truck accident that happened on Interstate Highway 55 near Plainfield, Illinois.

Our wrongful death attorneys understand that unfortunate wrongful deaths due to car accidents happen.  We do our best for our clients to make sure they receive everything that appropriate family members deserve.

Five years ago, a semi truck crashed into a line of cars on the highway and caused the wrongful deaths of 66-year-old Joseph Sperl and 42-year-old Thomas Sanders.  Sperl was driving north on I-55 when a previous and unrelated accident caused traffic to slow down.  The driver of the semi truck, DeAn Henry, appeared to have not slowed down quickly enough and his distracted driving caused the semi truck accident.

Our wrongful death lawyers can only hope this payout brings some peace to the families of the people that have died because of this horrible semi truck accident five years ago.
