$255,000 Settlement for Loading Dock Accident

$255,000 settlement at mediation for a truck driver making a delivery to a loading dock, when a security guard activated a machine called a “dock leveler”, a device that bridges the gap between the loading dock surface and the truck bed. The security guard’s employer disputed how the accident happened, but the video evidence that would show the accident, was erased and the defendants were accused of “spoilation” which states that a failure to maintain evidence results in a charge that if the video was available, it would have benefited the other party, in this case, the plaintiff. The victim suffered two puncture wounds and was diagnosed with a crush injury that left him with numbness in the leg and an antalgic gait.
