The Dawson Law Group has secured a $2.3 million policy-limits settlement for a commercial truck driver who sustained serious injuries in a multi-vehicle crash in Eastern Oregon. The settlement represents the maximum available insurance coverage and provides substantial compensation to the injured driver following a complex legal case involving contested liability and insurance coverage issues.
The accident occurred when an 18-wheeler jackknifed on an Eastern Oregon highway, prompting multiple trucks, including the Dawson Law Group's client, to stop and assist. As traffic slowed, a third semi-truck lost control and crashed into the disabled vehicle, initiating a chain-reaction collision that resulted in serious injuries to the firm's client. The sequence of events created a challenging liability scenario that required extensive investigation.
Dawson Law Group conducted a thorough investigation of the crash, collaborating with experts to analyze the sequence of events, vehicle positions, and safety practices that contributed to the collision. The firm's detailed preparation and persistent advocacy were instrumental in overcoming vigorously contested liability and insurance coverage issues to secure the full available policy limits. Attorney Ben Larson noted that the civil justice system often serves as the only mechanism to hold trucking companies accountable and secure rightful compensation for the pain, suffering, and life disruptions experienced by injured parties.
