$350,000

Tractor-Trailer Accident
We were retained by a woman who was seriously injured in a collision with a tractor-trailer.
Attorney’s on Case

We were retained by a woman who was seriously injured in a collision with a tractor-trailer. She suffered a spinal fracture and a concussion and incurred about $40,000 in medical bills which were paid by her health insurance. She had another law firm file suit for her and after an unsuccessful process, they referred her to us. Her case was on a trial docket. We hired experts to help us equate damages. We conducted depositions, including with her doctors. We were then able to settle the case prior to trial for $350,000 which was almost twice the previous offer. We believe we were able to leverage such a substantial increase in the insurance company’s offer because we demonstrated that we were willing to take the case to trial.

$1,030,000

Tractor-Trailer Accident
70 year old male hit head on by a tractor trailer. He suffered severe abdominal injuries.
Attorney’s on Case

70 year old male hit head on by a tractor trailer. He suffered severe abdominal injuries resulting in colonoscopic decompression requiring 3 weeks in the hospital followed by 2 weeks in rehabilitation. Several months later a reversal surgery was performed. He was a Medicare recipient so his medical bills totaled a little over $150,000 but his injuries were severe. The insurance carrier for the truck offered less than $300,000 so suit was filed. After lengthy discovery in the litigation process, which took over 2 years, the case was settled for $1,030,000, which exhausted all insurance policies. Patience and persistence were vital to getting justice for this client.

$750,000

Tractor-Trailer Accident
The client was a passenger in a vehicle side-swiped by a tractor-trailer, destroying the family’s pickup truck.
Attorney’s on Case

The client was a passenger in a vehicle side-swiped by a tractor-trailer, destroying the family’s pickup truck. The client required significant treatment and re-aggravated a pre-existing back condition, forcing him to retire early as he could no longer perform his job. We filed suit to give him time to finish treatment and to pressure the insurance carrier for the trucking company to fairly compensate the client. The matter settled at mediation for $750,000.

Tractor-Trailer Accident
Our client was tragically killed in a terrible accident when a tractor-trailer turned in front of her.
Attorney’s on Case

A tractor trailer executed a left turn on a two-lane road in front of our client who was driving straight. Our client hit the trailer and lost her life. Our attorneys immediately retained an accident reconstruction firm to survey the collision site, secure video footage, obtain eyewitness statements, and obtain the black box / event data recorder information. This preparation and decision to quickly involve expert witnesses allowed the attorneys at Riddle & Riddle to prove that the driver of the big truck was liable. The attorneys for the tractor trailer company agreed to accept liability after many discussions w/ them. The claim was settled without having to file suit for $2,000.000.
