For many years, 52-year-old Deborah Shank earned the minimum wage storage shelves of Wal-Mart on the night while her husband and (3) three sons slept. In May 2000, a 18 -- - wheel semi-trailer belonging to a large company crashed in when she was at the wheel of his minivan. She suffered brain damage, lost most of his memory and the ability to communicate or walk . His family has hired a lawyer who sued the company se! mitrailers for causing his injuries. trucking company of the i! nsurer f ought the claim and a jury award would be limited to $ 700000 his pain, suffering and loss of the ability to walk and communicate. after attorney's fees and costs, $ 417477 has been placed in a trust to ensure Deborah daily needs resulting from his injuries catastrophic.
