Case Overview
Claimant 1 was riding as a backseat passenger in a ride-share vehicle stopped at a red light when the defendant’s box truck rear-ended them. HHJ Trial Attorneys, a ride-share accident lawyers, represented the claimant and resolved the case for $100,000
How the Collision Happened
The defendant was driving a large box truck for an employer, within the course and scope of employment, when they traveled at an unsafe speed and slammed into the rear of the vehicle stopped at a red light. The defendant initially fled the scene and later claimed under oath that the ride-share vehicle had reversed into the truck. A review of city traffic cameras by law enforcement disproved that account, confirming the defendant struck the stopped vehicle and was solely at fault.
Injuries Sustained
Claimant 1 suffered cervical paraspinal muscle spasms, headaches, neck pain, lower back pain, bilateral SI joint pain, and tingling, numbness, and radicular symptoms in the left lower extremity.
How the Case Was Resolved
After the defendant’s fabricated account was exposed, HHJ Trial Attorneys secured a $100,000 settlement for the claimant’s injuries.
Result
Total Recovery: $100,000
