T-Boned by Commercial Pickup Truck

This month’s pre-litigation case of the month is a father who was t-boned by a commercial pick-up truck, rendering his vehicle a total loss. The policy limits were unknown, but we did know the policy limits were high as it was a commercial insurance policy.

Our client suffered cervical and lumbar disc protrusions, requiring epidural injections. Our client was also recommended future epidural injections in order to care for the injuries he sustained from the accident.

In response to our settlement demand, the third party made an initial offer of $50k. Initially, we seemed very far apart in terms of settlement value. But, after over a month of continuous negotiations, we were able to increase the offer to $125k. Additionally, we were able to obtain a waiver on the medical payments making the total settlement $146,173.56.

The client was ecstatic with the result, as it was way more than he had initially anticipated! This case is a great example of an overall fantastic outcome and recovery for our client.
