Case Description

The clients were traveling on Bert Kouns Industrial Loop when they were struck from behind by a heavy oilfield service truck. The impact caused injuries to the clients' upper extremities and worsened an existing hernia condition.

Legal Strategy

Because the defendant denied liability, we had to perform a thorough accident reconstruction to prove they were 100% at fault for the collision.

Challenges

Proving the defendant was at fault and establishing the medical link between the collision and the hernia aggravation.

Resolution

The case settled for $900,000 through mediation.
