Car crashes happen in an instant, but the consequences can last a lifetime. Our client, a 45-year-old Luling resident, was simply driving eastbound on US 90 near Nine Mile Point Road when everything changed.
Multi Car Crash on US 90 Near Nine Mile Point Road
An unknown driver’s reckless lane change triggered a chain reaction, causing a multi-car pileup. The real trouble, though, came from a commercial truck hauling a full load of sand. The truck slammed into another vehicle, sending it careening into oncoming traffic, right into our client’s path.
The impact left her with serious injuries, including dental injuries and a painful fractured finger that required extensive treatment. But as bad as her injuries were, the fight for accountability turned out to be even tougher.
Business Owner Denied Truck Was Involved
The business that owned the commercial vehicle refused to take responsibility. The owner outright denied his truck was involved at all. But we weren’t about to let them get away with it.
Depositions Revealed the Truth
Through determined investigation and aggressive litigation, we uncovered the truth. Depositions revealed the business owner had lied about his vehicle’s involvement in the crash. That changed everything.
Above Policy Limit Settlement Secured
Despite the insurance company’s efforts to limit their payout, we didn’t back down. We fought for our client and secured an above-policy-limit settlement with direct financial contribution from the business owner himself.
Our client got the compensation she deserved, and the business was held accountable for the harm it caused.
