Powers vs. McEwen, et.al. (New Haven Superior Court – filed June 21, 2012 / case assumed by Faxon Law Group for a trial work up on July 15.) While at a complete stop on Forest Road in North Branford, CT, our plaintiff had her turn signal on and was waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so she could make a left-hand turn. While stopped, she was violently struck from behind by a large Peterbilt commercial truck operated by the defendant. Our client’s vehicle was pushed over 20 feet and was ultimately totaled. As a direct result, she suffered injuries to her head, neck and back. In the years since the 2010 crash, she has suffered chronic headaches as well as cervical, thoracic and lumbar pain and ongoing discomfort and numbness in her lower extremities. Two different back surgeries (a discectomy and L5/S1 fusion) were required and she still lives with pain every day. Now only 26 years old and a dental hygienist, she has been out of work since her surgery and unable to pursue her chosen career path due to the prolonged bending and the other physical movements required in her profession.
