Rear-ended by Commercial Truck – $325,000

Published: 09/11/2023

This case showcases our expertise in handling complex vehicular accident cases in litigation. In 2020, our client, a farm equipment transporter, suffered a devastating rear-end collision in Fresno by a commercial truck. This mishap, unfortunately, led to severe injuries and escalating medical bills reaching over $100,000.

With the defendants had $1million in insurance through State Farm, they stubbornly resisted any fault, pointing towards alleged brake light issues on our client’s trailer. Recognizing the potential challenges, our experienced accident attorneys quickly sprung into action. As the impending jury trial approached, we strategically proposed a $325,000 settlement. An ace up our sleeve was the careful citation to the California Vehicle Code to highlight that our client’s trailer was, in fact, compliant with only having reflectors. Faced with our detailed legal groundwork, the defendants conceded, accepting our proposed settlement terms.

With our legal expertise and tenacity, our client found not only financial relief but also avoided the potential hardships of a jury trial.
