Commercial Truck – Total Loss – $500,000

Published: 05/19/2023

Our client was struck from behind by a commercial vehicle, causing substantial damage and rendering her vehicle a total loss. She suffered severe back and neck injuries, including disc protrusions in her cervical and lumbar spine. Despite undergoing multiple treatments such as epidural injections and occipital nerve block injections, the pain persisted. She was advised to undergo a lumbar discectomy surgery, which factored into our calculation for future medical expenses.

Initially, the at-fault party offered a meager $50,000 settlement. But after aggressively litigating the case, we discovered several inconsistencies with the defendant driver’s testimony, raising serious credibility issues. After a short mediation with a private judge, we were able to successfully resolve the case for $500,000 settlement. Our client was ecstatic. This case highlights the importance of having a strong legal team in personal injury cases to ensure fair treatment and maximum compensation.
