Minimal Insurance Coverage to $4.5 Million Commercial Vehicle Settlement

On December 15, 2021, our client, Mr. Martin, experienced a life-altering accident on Interstate 85 caused by a negligent driver with a suspended commercial license. Despite the initial minimal insurance offer, we fought relentlessly and successfully secured a $4.5 million settlement.

The Accident

Mr. Martin was driving his 2008 Chevrolet Silverado when his day took a tragic turn. A tractor-trailer driver, who had a suspended commercial driver’s license, fell asleep at the wheel and lost control of his vehicle. The truck struck the back of Mr. Martin’s car, causing it to roll over and crash off the interstate.

Unfortunately, this caused Mr. Martin to suffer from severe injuries, including pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, and permanent physical impairment. He needed extensive medical treatment and couldn’t perform his usual activities. Sadly, on March 21, 2023, Mr. Martin passed away due to injuries from the accident.

Knowing Your (Case’s) Worth

When dealing with insurance claims, it’s crucial to understand the true value of your case. This involves thoroughly assessing all damages, including medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages. By knowing the full extent of your losses, you can confidently reject inadequate insurance offers that don’t fully compensate you. Remember, insurance companies often aim to settle claims quickly and for as little as possible.

In Mr. Martin’s case, despite the insurance company’s initial offer of minimal compensation, we fought tirelessly to ensure justice for him and his family. We refused to accept the inadequate settlement and pursued the case aggressively, ultimately securing the compensation they deserved.
