This case, in which liability and damages will be tried to a live jury, involves a number of unique facts and issues. While hauling a heavy trailer, the defendant’s pickup truck struck the rear of a semi-truck cab driven by the plaintiff, who claims he can no longer perform his over-the-road truck-driving job due to injuries to his lower back. Defendant claims his view was blocked by two cars traveling in front of him, and when the SUV in front of defendant pulled left out of the curb lane, the stopped semi cab was right in front of the defendant. Issues to be tried include the defendant’s negligent control of his vehicle — and in particular — failure to maintain a safe following distance. Witnesses include the plaintiff, defendant, responding police officer, vocational experts, treating neurosurgeon, and IME neurosurgeon.
