Commercial Accident

$400,000+ Recovered After a Commercial Truck Rear-End Crash and Disputed Liability

Attorney Brenda Odufuwa secured a settlement of more than $400,000 for a client who was rear-ended by a commercial truck. Our client suffered serious injuries, including conditions that required future medical treatment and a recommended surgery.

WHAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY ARGUED

The defendant’s insurer pushed back on liability from the start, ultimately accepting only 75 percent of the fault rather than full responsibility for the crash. Disputed liability gave the insurer a foothold to reduce what it was willing to pay and made it harder to recover what the case was truly worth.

HOW THE CASE WAS WON

Rather than letting the liability dispute drive the case, Attorney Odufuwa focused the strategy on the full picture of our client’s injuries and what they would need going forward. The team obtained a Physician’s Life Care Plan, a detailed assessment that documents future medical treatment, anticipated surgeries, and long-term care requirements. That evidence shifted the conversation from what had already happened to what the client would continue to face. With that foundation in place, Attorney Odufuwa applied consistent negotiation pressure throughout the case and refused to let the disputed liability percentage become a ceiling on recovery, resulting in a settlement of more than $400,000.
