A serious truck accident left our client facing a long recovery. We secured a settlement of more than $1.5 million to help him move forward.
Truck accidents carry a different order of severity than an ordinary car crash. The size and weight difference between a commercial truck and a passenger vehicle means that even a routine-looking collision can leave lasting injuries, and this case was no exception.
Our attorneys built the case methodically, documenting the extent of our client's injuries and the impact the crash had on his life, then pressed the trucking company's insurer for a settlement that reflected the real scope of the harm.
The case resolved for $1,525,000, a result that gave our client the resources he needed for his continued recovery.
Commercial vehicle claims involve federal trucking regulations, corporate defense teams, and higher policy limits than an ordinary car accident case. Handling them well requires attorneys who know that terrain.
Thorough documentation of a client's injuries and their impact gives an insurer real exposure to weigh, which is often what moves a case from a lowball number to a fair one.
