Case Results, Verdicts & Settlements

Our client was seriously injured when a semi-tractor ran over her vehicle on the interstate. Liability was disputed from the outset, with no independent witnesses and the client having no memory of the crash. Through focused investigation and evidence development, we were able to prove the operator of the tractor-trailer was mostly at fault for the crash, and the case ultimately resolved through settlement. We also helped our client arrange the structuring of her settlement to help protect her financial future and take advantage of additional tax advantages available to personal injury victims who utilize annuities to structure their recovery.

This case illustrates how serious truck-crash claims can be proven even when the injured party has no memory of the event and no witnesses come forward—and why early, thorough investigation is critical in commercial vehicle cases.

Key Takeaway: Trucking cases do not require eyewitnesses to succeed, but early, thorough investigation is often critical in such situations. When liability is disputed and the injured person cannot remember the crash, physical evidence and the use of an accident reconstructionist can help tell the story of what really occurred.
