We successfully negotiated a six-figure confidential settlement for our client. This was a violent crash where our client’s vehicle was knocked into a concrete barrier when a trailer being pulled by an 18 wheeler slammed into the passenger side of our client’s vehicle.

The case was resolved after mediation and before trial. At the time the case resolved, he had not had the spinal cord stimulator implanted....

Posted by mladen.jankovic@symbiotica.rs

in Commercial Vehicle Car Wreck, Personal Injury

We successfully negotiated a $1,100,000.00 settlement for our clients who were rear ended by a drunk driver operating a company vehicle. The driver had previous convictions for DWI in 1985 and 2010. His employer never disciplined him, including never suspending his driving privileges, prior to our crash. The driver, Teodoro Ortega, lied to the Tyler police officers who investigated the crash and told them he had consumed 1 beer while driving. His BAC was tested and revealed a .176, which is more than 2 times the legal limit. One of our clients was required to undergo a 3 level fusion...

in 18 Wheeler, Personal Injury, Trucking Injury

We successfully negotiated a confidential high six figure settlement for our client with a Minnesota company where its commercial motor vehicle driver negligently attempted to make a lane change and violently slammed into our client who was traveling in the lane next to him. The Defendant driver vehemently denied fault for the crash but his testimony was not credible given the investigating trooper’s conclusions in the crash report. Additionally, based on the damage to the box truck and our client’s vehicle, the crash could not have occurred as the Defendant driver swore it occurred. Our client sustained injuries to his...
