Collisions involving tractor-trailers often cause serious injuries, and because of the commercial insurance coverage
available, companies tend to fight these claims hard.

When involved in a truck accident, it is crucial to hire an attorney immediately so that they can send out a
spoliation letter to the truck company and ensure that they preserve valuable evidence, such as dashcam footage, and
various forms of electronic data through GPS systems, radar collision warning systems, the electronic control
modules, and accelerator recording systems.

That is what Burger Law did in Lisa’s case, and we were able to obtain video of the collision proving that the truck
driver was at fault.

Lisa was driving in the left lane on Highway 44 on a rainy day when a truck in the right lane ahead of her failed to
slow down for traffic and abruptly changed lanes, cutting her off.

This forced Lisa to skid out of control and run into the median. As a result of the crash, she sustained a concussion
and partial tear of a ligament in her knee. She had $38,000 in paid and owed medical bills.

Despite the dashcam video, the truck company claimed Lisa was speeding and partially at fault and only offered
$50,000 to settle her claim.

After months of negotiation, Genavieve resolved Lisa’s claim for $162,500. If you know someone involved in a truck
accident, be sure to act quickly so that valuable evidence isn’t lost or destroyed. Call us to speak to an
