Attorney Andy Truelove Secures $250,000 Settlement in Rockwall County 18-Wheeler Crash

Angel Reyes & Associates Delivers Six-Figure Recovery After Truck Collision East of Dallas

Angel Reyes & Associates is pleased to announce that our team, led by Attorney Andy Truelove, has secured a $250,000 settlement for a client injured in a serious collision involving a commercial 18-wheeler.

In November 2023, our client was traveling eastbound on I-30 near Blackland Road when their vehicle was struck by a large commercial truck. The impact sent our client’s vehicle into the highway barrier.

As is often the case in fast-moving highway crashes, the exact sequence of events was not entirely clear-cut from the start. One account described the truck driver attempting to change lanes, striking the rear driver side of our client’s vehicle. Another placed the truck directly behind our client at the moment of impact.

That kind of uncertainty is not unusual. What matters is that our team got to work sorting through the details and making sure our client’s version of events was fully documented and clearly presented.

What Our Client Was Up Against

The defendant’s insurer carried a $1 million policy, and they accepted liability before any lawsuit was filed. Still, a large policy and an admission of fault do not automatically translate into fair compensation.

Our client also came into this case with preexisting medical conditions, which the other side would almost certainly try to use as a reason to reduce the value of the claim. That is a challenge we see often in personal injury cases, and it is one we know how to handle.

How We Built the Case

At Angel Reyes & Associates, a client’s prior medical history is not a weakness. It is something we work to contextualize properly. We focused on demonstrating how this crash aggravated our client’s condition and diminished their quality of life in ways directly tied to this collision.

We also made deliberate strategic decisions about venue, and we litigated this case all the way through. That meant taking depositions from expert witnesses and corporate representatives for the trucking company. When the other side sees that level of preparation, they understand we are not going away.

A Result That Reflected What This Case Was Worth

The insurance company agreed to a $250,000 settlement. For our client, that result was a recognition of what they truly went through, not a discounted number offered to close a file.

We are proud of the work Andy Truelove and his support team invested in this case, and we are grateful for the trust our client placed in us.
