Settlement Victory: client pockets $442,224 for Truck Accident

Our client was t-boned by a big truck–while preparing for trial, our policy limits settlement victory put $442,224 in her pocket

While we prepared for a January 2025 trial, our client received a large settlement offer. The facts were bad for the defendants. And we continued to discovery, even near trial, additional damaging facts. While we were nearly ready for trial, our client decided to accept the policy limits offer.

Severe injuries requiring surgery warranted a significant settlement, allowing our client to pocket $442,224.

Negligent trucker destroyed our client’s car and caused her serious injuries

Recently, we wrote about the increasing dangers associated with reckless truckers. Our experience is that negligent truckers routinely violate state and federal regulations. For example, you probably see 18-wheeler drivers texting or internet browsing. But federal law prohibits commercial truckers from texting while driving. In our history, we handled matters involving clients injured by truckers who were intoxicated, tired and simply unconcerned about safety.

Eyewitness testimony

Notably, an eyewitness reported that the involved trucker caused the collision because he ran a red light. The witness was definitive and unwavering.  We secured her statement right away.

The involved trucker begged paramedics to hurry.  His conversation with paramedics indicated that he was present with our client following the collision.  He told paramedics that he thought she might die.

Recovery transparency

Perhaps you’ve seen television or radio commercials about massive verdicts in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Nearly always missing from those commercials is what the client pocketed. In truth, many defendants appeal multi-million dollar verdicts. Often, many corporate defendants are underfunded. They lack the capital to pay large judgments or verdicts.
