John Reutter, 65, and his wife, Mary, 61, were seriously injured in the June 2006 accident on Interstate 35W near Burleson, Texas. Mrs. Reutter suffered a paralyzed left arm and has only partial movement of her right arm. Mr. Reutter experienced lower back pain as a result of the wreck, their attorneys said.
The Reutters sued Oklahoma-based United Petroleum Transports Inc. and this week announced the parties had reached an out-of-court settlement to end the case, just as it was set to go to trial. The settlement was among the largest ever reached in Johnson County courts, attorneys said.
