T-bone with Semi Truck – $750,000

Published: 01/20/2024

Our client was the victim of a t-bone accident/ head-on collision with a commercial/ semi truck in September 2020. Our client’s vehicle was a total loss given the major impact between their vehicle and the commercial/ semi truck. It also caused our client a traumatic experience during the collision.

Our client suffered a spine injury, including a neck injury and back injury which required injections and surgery. Our client received injections for his spine injury and a lumbar laminectomy surgery. Our client’s past medical bills were $288,698.71.

The defendants’ insurance carrier had a $1m commercial policy limit. After almost two years of litigation, the initial offer in the case was $450,000.00. Nearly 60 days from trial, we were able to continue negotiating and settled the case for $750,000.00. Our client was ecstatic with the result as he ultimately wanted to do whatever necessary to settle the case without a jury trial. On top of meeting his wishes, our client received a higher settlement than he was ever expecting.
