Truck Crash Case From $11k to $250k

Attorney Michael Sheldon recently secured a $250k settlement for our client, Michael. Michael was driving on the highway in the far right lane, approaching an exit ramp, when the driver of a semi-truck suddenly and unexpectedly merged from the far left lane into Michael’s lane. As the truck driver merged, the back of the trailer struck the front driver side of Michael’s vehicle.

While the semi-truck barely had any damage to the trailer bumper, Michael’s vehicle was completely crushed and totaled. Michael sustained lacerations and scarring on his arm, a concussion, and neck and back injuries.

He received stiches in his arm, chiropractic treatment, and therapy for the concussion. His total medical bills were approximately $25,000.

Attorney Michael Sheldon made a large demand in the case. The insurance company made an initial offer of $11,000, and made a top offer of $40k before we filed a lawsuit.

We were able to produce great evidence in the case regarding Michael’s permanent arm and brain injuries. Michael testified powerfully in deposition about how his life has been negatively impacted by the collision.

After completing written discovery and depositions, Attorney Michael Sheldon secured a $250k settlement for our client.

This was another great success for our client. At Burger Law, we relentlessly fight for our clients and turn small offers into huge settlements.

We wish Michael the best, and we are glad we could help get him this great recovery!
