An unsafe lane change can happen in an instant and change a life forever. Our client was driving safely when a commercial truck driver failed to check their blind spot and merged directly into the side of her vehicle. The collision caused debilitating and chronic injuries.
The defendant’s insurance company attempted to deny fault and minimize the consequences, dismissing our client’s condition as mere “soft tissue injuries“—a term insurers often use to devalue legitimate claims. We fought back by proving the facts. Our accident investigation focused on the vehicle damage, where the impact angles clearly showed the truck initiated the contact, confirming it was an improper lane change.
More importantly, we meticulously documented how these so-called “soft tissue injuries” permanently affected our client’s ability to work and enjoy life. Through medical evidence and powerful testimony, we demonstrated the true, long-term impact of her pain. Our refusal to let the insurer downplay her suffering resulted in a $500,000 settlement, providing fair compensation for her past, present, and future damages from this serious trucking accident.
