Rear-End Collision with Commercial Truck – Tampa, FL
Date of Incident: 2021
Result: $235,000 Settlement. Significant recovery achieved shortly before trial.
Case Summary:
In 2021, our client was involved in a rear-end collision with a commercial truck in Tampa, Florida. The impact of the crash caused injuries that required extensive medical treatment and recovery.
The trucking company initially blamed our client for causing the collision and further claimed that our client had not suffered injuries as a result of the crash. Faced with these allegations, our client retained Bodden & Bennett Law Group to pursue justice and fair compensation.
Outcome:
Our attorneys filed a lawsuit and aggressively litigated the case. Throughout the litigation process, we challenged the trucking company’s defenses and prepared the case for trial.
Shortly before trial was set to begin, the trucking company agreed to a settlement of $235,000. The final settlement amount was more than fifteen times the insurance company’s original offer.
Legal Takeaway:
Trucking companies and their insurers often attempt to deny liability and minimize injuries. Thorough preparation and a willingness to take a case to trial can significantly improve the outcome for injured victims.
