Introduction

Truck accidents can lead to severe injuries, especially when negligence is involved. This case details how our Bronx truck accident lawyers successfully represented Tom, a man injured in a collision on the Cross Bronx Expressway. We secured the compensation necessary for his recovery, thanks to our local expertise and commitment to justice.

Background

Tom, a 45-year-old Bronx resident, was driving on the Cross Bronx Expressway when a speeding truck veered into his lane, causing a serious accident. Tom sustained a fractured collarbone, neck, and back injuries, which left him unable to work and facing significant medical bills.

Initial Challenges

The trucking company’s insurance quickly offered a settlement that was insufficient to cover Tom’s medical expenses, lost wages, and suffering. They also attempted to shift some blame to Tom. Recognizing the need for expert legal representation, Tom contacted our firm for help.

Building the Case

1. Investigating the Accident:

We obtained evidence, including traffic footage and the truck’s black box data, which proved the driver’s fault.

2. Gathering Medical Evidence:

We compiled records of Tom’s injuries and worked with healthcare providers to assess his long-term needs, including pain management and rehabilitation.

3. Dealing with the Insurance Company:

The insurance company argued Tom was partly at fault. Our strong evidence countered this, proving Tom’s right to full compensation.

4. Calculating Compensation:

We carefully calculated Tom’s medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and future care needs.

5. Negotiating a Settlement:

After negotiations, the insurance company offered a significantly higher settlement, covering all of Tom’s expenses and future care.

Outcome

The settlement allowed Tom to focus on his recovery without financial worry. It also held the trucking company accountable for their negligence, giving Tom the justice he deserved.
