Amputee files $37M Lawsuit After Garbage Truck Crash

A 57-year-old man whose leg was severed after he was hit by a garbage truck has filed a $37 million lawsuit. The pedestrian was in a crosswalk when the garbage truck driver made an illegal turn striking the man and severing one of his legs.

The lawsuit states that the man suffered multiple injuries, including broken ribs. His left leg was amputated above the knee. The claim alleges that the truck driver and the company he was working for at the time, were “negligent” by:

• Failing to maintain a reasonable lookout
• Failing to maintain reasonable control of their truck
• Driving too fast under the circumstances
• Driving a commercial truck without a license
• Failing to create a safe collection route that does not incorporate illegal and unsafe turns
• Failing to properly train, perform audits on employees to ensure they are licensed

The company has denied allegations against them.
