At Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, we fight for maximum compensation. When Justice Counts™, our record speaks for itself.
$500,000
Our client was a truck driver who was hit by another tractor-trailer while in a loading dock. As a result of the collision, our client suffered neck, back, and elbow pain. His injuries ultimately caused him to undergo surgery on his neck and elbow. The workers’ compensation claim was accepted and he received medical treatment and indemnity payments.
With representation by our workers’ comp lawyers, the case was then settled at mediation for $125,000 and a fully-funded Medicare Set Aside fund. The third-party case against the other driver was settled for $375,000, with settlements totalling $500,000 in compensation for our deserving client.
$490,000
Our client was involved in a T-bone accident that resulted in a severe pelvic fracture.
To effectively advocate for our client, attorneys Alex Riddle and Darren Dawson conducted a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident. Our auto accident investigator secured evidence, including details from law enforcement and witness statements, to establish liability.
Recognizing the potential long-term effects of the injury, our legal team engaged a medical expert to evaluate the permanency of the client’s injuries. The expert provided a detailed opinion on the lasting impact of our client’s injuries on her daily life. Her medical bills were approximately $81,000.
Through diligent negotiations, our attorneys secured a settlement of $490,000.
$475,000
Our client was the guest passenger in a vehicle when defendant went left of center causing a collision which totaled both vehicles. Both vehicles caught on fire and multiple parties were injured. Plaintiff was visiting North Carolina at the time of the incident. Plaintiff suffered a disc herniation, labral tear and a broken toe. The case was resolved prior to trial for $475,000.
$450,000
Our client was tragically killed in an auto accident. After a lengthy investigation by our investigators, we helped the heirs press for charges against the defendant driver and we were successful. We also helped press the prosecutor for a conviction on the traffic charges. We did not settle the case until after the traffic charges against defendant were concluded. After that conclusion, we settled the case for the limits of all policies available, which were three separate auto coverage policies. We can stack coverages in North Carolina.
$400,000
Our client was seriously injured when a tire from an oncoming tractor-trailer detached and struck our client’s vehicle head-on. The truck left the scene of the crash leaving our client wrecked in a ditch. He was airlifted to a trauma center and treated for a sternum fracture and a thoracic back fracture requiring surgery. We conducted a review of our client’s applicable insurance policies to identify all uninsured motorist coverage which might help to compensate our client. This included coverage under policies of family members living in our client’s household at the time of the injury. In total, we obtained $400,000 in insurance coverage.
$375,000
We successfully represented a woman who was seriously injured in a motor vehicle collision in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. She was a passenger in a motor vehicle that was hit by a farm tractor. There were many issues concerning who was at fault, as the investigating officer found that our client contributed to causing the wreck. We quickly hired an accident reconstructionist to inspect the vehicles, along with the crash site, and help establish liability. The quick investigation helped us settle our client’s case at voluntary mediation.
$225,000
Without warning, a defendant truck driver rear-ended our client resulting in injuries to his neck, back and left shoulder. Our client, who was 60 years old at the time of the wreck and treated for a couple years, required multiple pain injections and eventually surgery on a torn rotator cuff. Medical bills totaled roughly $65,000. After a lengthy recovery and extensive discussions with the insurance carrier, the team at Riddle & Riddle successfully negotiated a settlement of $225,000. This is considered an excellent result since he had a prior accident which injured his shoulder. This is also a good example of why it is important for injured victims to be patient. A good result may take some time for the client to treat.
$100,000
Moments later, the vehicle was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer, causing significant impact. As a result of the crash, our client suffered a nondisplaced foot fracture that required treatment with a walking boot. Through negotiations with the insurance carriers, our firm secured a $100,000 recovery for our client.
$90,000
Our client was riding his lawnmower cutting grass when he was unexpectedly struck by a large tractor traveling on the roadway. The tractor was towing a hay-cutting piece of equipment and being operated by two men. Due to their negligence, the mowing attachment dropped, hit a telephone pole, and struck our client. Our client sustained fractures of his pelvis and ribs. One of the drivers of the tractor died as a result of the crash. After a diligent search, we learned that there were no applicable insurance policies to cover our client’s injuries. The only alternative was to pursue the personal assets of the drivers of the tractor. Our attorneys filed a personal injury claim with the Clerk of Court in the estate file of the deceased man. This filing with the Court facilitated a settlement of the claim with our client being paid a total sum of $90,000.
