Case Study: Tractor Trailer Crashes
Tractor-trailer crashes can be caused by a variety of factors, but finding the root cause is the difference between winning and losing a case.
One night while our client was driving her car, she collided with the side of a tractor-trailer hauling steel beams that were extending off the edge of the truck. The truck made a left-hand turn on a red-light giving her no time to stop. Our client was 27 years old at the time and as a result of the accident she became paralyzed from the waist down. The chaos and aftermath following her accident forced her parents to become her full-time caretakers.
Why This Case Matters
Our client’s parents reached out to us because they felt she deserved justice that insurance companies were not delivering. Even in the midst of their grief, her family wanted the trucking company and truck driver to be held responsible to ensure that no one else had to go through another tragedy like they had experienced.
How We Built
A Winning Case
The Result
After building the case, all of our expert reports were compiled and exchanged. Shortly before the scheduled trial date, we obtained a significant financial settlement from the trucking company on behalf of our client.
Although tragically paralyzed because of the negligence of the trucking company’s driver, our client was equipped with a lifelong treatment plan and the financial resources necessary to lead a comfortable life. Furthermore, the trucking company was held responsible for their actions, preventing them from harming others in the future.
