Couple Awarded Millions After Truck Accident

Mary and John Reutter had slowed down because of traffic on Interstate 35W in Burleson, Texas but didn’t see what had not slowed down behind them. A tractor-trailer slammed into them, sending their 2002 Ford Mustang into the vehicle in front of them.
The Reutters suffered major injuries — and are still recovering a year and a half after the June 16, 2006, crash — but they settled with the truck’s owner, United Petroleum Transports, in October for $5.5 million.

The wreck left Mary Reutter’s left arm paralyzed and cost about $500,000 in medical expenses, an attorney for the couple said. The Reutters moved to Michigan and have been trying to put the pieces of their lives back together. In addition to Mary Reutter’s incapacitated left arm, she only has 40 percent mobility in her right arm, making it nearly impossible to take care of herself.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a truck accident in Philadelphia or anywhere in Pennsylvania, please contact the truck accident attorneys at Pomerantz Perlberger & Lewis today to schedule your initial consultation.
