Dawson Law Group announced it has secured a $2.3 million policy-limits settlement in a complex trucking accident claim arising out of a multi-vehicle crash in Eastern Oregon. The settlement provides substantial compensation to the firm’s client, a commercial truck driver who suffered serious injuries in the collision.
The crash occurred when an 18-wheeler jackknifed on the highway in Eastern Oregon, forcing multiple trucks, including Dawson Law Group’s client, to stop and check on the disabled vehicle. As traffic slowed, a third semi-truck lost control and crashed into the disabled truck, triggering a chain-reaction impact that caused serious injuries to Dawson Law Group’s client.
Liability and insurance coverage issues were vigorously contested. Dawson Law Group conducted a thorough investigation of the crash, working with experts to analyze the sequence of events, vehicle positions, and safety practices that contributed to the collision. Through detailed preparation and persistent advocacy, the firm was able to obtain the full available policy limits on behalf of its client.
“Oftentimes, the civil justice system is the only way to hold trucking companies accountable and secure rightful compensation for the pain, suffering, and disruptions our clients have endured. A successful resolution is one that restores their peace of mind and helps them rebuild their lives,” said Attorney Ben Larson.
To help the public better understand the dynamics and dangers of multi-vehicle trucking collisions, Dawson Law Group is also sharing video footage related to the crash, which occurred in Oregon. The video can be viewed at https://youtu.be/JLwkV7AAGKU.
