What kind of truck accident claims have you handled?
At Arnold & Itkin, we have seen our fair share of different truck accident claims. For example, as explained by Attorney Jason Itkin, there was one situation in which they had a client who was injured in an accident involving an 18 wheeler, that left him suffering from serious back and neck injuries. Following the accident, the client was required to go through over 20 depositions and experience the stress that is commonly associated with the claim process. After all of this, they were offered a settlement by the insurance company. The amount? A meager $5,000.
This was unacceptable by our firm and we proceeded to take the course to trial. Through our efforts, we were able to recover a $1.6 million dollar verdict. Although this is only one example, it is important to realize that this is a typical example of the behavior that we have witnessed trucking companies and insurance companies exhibit. It is for this reason that we encourage you to consult with the legal team from our firm - someone who will refuse to accept the behavior that is typical of trucking companies, someone who has fought these types of cases and won.
Our ability to fight to hold trucking companies accountable was also displayed in a recent case that was explained by Attorney Kurt Arnold. As he explained, it is not uncommon for more than one truck to be involved. In one case, their client’s car was bumped by a large truck into the oncoming traffic on the other side of the road. They were then subsequently involved in an accident with another large truck.
With two insurance companies involved, one might think it would be even easier to get the assistance you need, however, this was completely untrue in this case. Both companies played the blame shifting game and blamed not only the client, but the other trucking company – and somewhere in this, the client was left hanging out to dry. We got involved, looked into the rest logs of the truckers and found that neither one of them should have been driving at all. We got experts who reconstructed the scene and created video animation to re-simulate the accident. In the end? We proved both trucking companies were at fault.
