Passenger Vehicle Struck by Tractor-Trailer. Resulting in Eight Car Pile-Up
Car Accident InjuriesIn the summer of 2018, our client and his spouse were traveling on I-280 on what seemed like a normal day. Unfortunately for out client, the operator of a tractor-trailer was not paying attention to the road, and rear-ended our client. The impact threw our client’s vehicle from the road, resulting in an eight-car pileup.Â
As can be imagined, the damage to our client and their vehicle was tremendous. Emergency crews had to cut our client out of their vehicle due to the extensive damage. Our client suffered a crushing injury to their lower extremities, a hematoma to their leg, and several lacerations and contusions. Our client underwent numerous treatments and rehab as a result.Â
Due to the severity of their injuries, our client was out of work, could not enjoy their hobbies, and faced a long road to physical recovery. With this in mind, our attorneys zealously represented our clients in seeking treatment and avenues to recovery.Â
Though the trucking company at first offered a settlement in the amount of $40,000, our attorneys knew that we could get more for our client. After rounds of negotiations and advocating, we achieved a $215,000 settlement for our client without stepping into court.
