Kevin was on the way to a medical appointment. Sitting in the back of a medical transport vehicle, he wore a boot on his fractured right foot. As the vehicle stopped at a red light it was rear-ended by a big rig on NW Evangeline Thruway in Lafayette.
He was jolted forward and hit his injured foot. The pain was significantly worse than before. A doctor confirmed the crash irritated his injury. The aggravation to his pre-existing injury prolonged his treatment.
Kevin found our firm online and called two months after the incident. We gathered evidence crucial to proving the big rig driver’s negligence.
Difficulties arose when Kevin moved several times. He also had a fall after the crash which further complicated things. As the case was about to resolve an unexpected lien for child support was discovered, but we persevered.
We finalized a settlement for Kevin recognizing the aggravation to his condition and handling the outstanding lien while still putting money in his pocket.
At LJB Legal, our Lafayette truck accident lawyers stand up for the injured despite any obstacles that come our way.
