Florida Injury Lawyer Blawg
Leesfield & Partners, a Miami personal injury law firm, filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of a woman who was left as an incomplete quadriplegic following a Lake County tractor-trailer crash involving a Florida Highway Patrolman.
On Feb. 22, 2025, our client was traveling with her family to Orlando, Florida, when their car was rear-ended by a 53,000-pound tractor-trailer.
In all, there were seven cars involved in the crash, including that of a Florida Highway Patrol trooper. In addition to our client, several others involved in the crash were taken to the hospital for treatment. The trooper, however, was not injured.
Since the accident, our 25-year-old client’s life has been upended, her future uncertain. She has undergone multiple surgeries and has had to suffer the removal of portions of her spine as well as the implantation of a metal rod.
Eric Shane, the Leesfield & Partners Trial Attorney handling the case, said that the utter recklessness of the tractor-trailer driver that day has caused catastrophic and life-altering injuries to our client.
“This is a wonderful, 25-year-old woman who had her whole life ahead of her,” Shane said. “We must hold these companies and their drivers accountable.”
