$1M Settlement For Plaintiff Over Sweeper Collision

Introduction

A potential $1 million settlement has been reached in the case of a man who was hurt when his automobile collided with a street sweeper in Hacienda Heights in 2018.

The county Claims Board and the Board of Supervisors must approve the settlement in the plaintiff's lawsuit. The plaintiff was driving a Toyota southbound on Hacienda Boulevard close to Glenmark Drive on January 18, 2018, according to the lawsuit filed in January 2020. The plaintiff's vehicle collided with the county street sweeper when the sweeper's driver, who was travelling in the same way on the same route, attempted to perform a U-turn directly in the plaintiff's path, according to the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff had serious, expensive bodily injuries that need medical attention as well as lost pay and his capacity to work.
