Trucker obtains settlement in double 18 wheeler accident


Jose, an over the road truck driver, was driving his 18 wheeler westbound on the Beaumont Highway and stopped in the left hand turn lane waiting to turn southbound on to F.M. 526.  After Jose stopped, a different 18 wheeler rear ended him.  Eddie Lee Tyner was driving the 18 wheeler that hit Jose's 18 wheeler.  At the time of this 18 wheeler accident, Mr. Tyner was on the job for Rebel Trucking, LLC.

Jose hurt his neck in the crash.  His doctors performed a neck fusion surgery about a year after the accident.  Jose also missed a lot of work while he was receiving medical treatment.

Jose hired Vujasinovic & Beckcom to make a claim for him.  Initially, the trucking company denied the claim.  The trucking company argued that Jose could not have been hurt in this crash.  However, after obtaining medical records and taking the testimony of various healthcare providers, V&B demonstrated that Jose indeed injured his neck due to this 18 wheeler crash.

V&B also did work which proved the trucking company failed to have its driver undergo the DOT required post-crash drug and alcohol testing, and failed to maintain copies of its trucker's qualification, training, and supervision files, including his driver's logs.

V&B negotiated Jose's case at a mediation, however, the trucking company only offered $150,000 at mediation.  After the failed mediation, V&B continued to work up the case.  After the additional work and as the trial date approached, V&B negotiated a $400,000 settlement for Jose.

Result: $400,000

Above are representative settlements and verdicts pursued and won by Vujasinovic & Beckcom P.L.L.C. Please note that every case is different and these verdicts and settlements, while accurate, do not represent what we may obtain for you in your case. Nor does it mean that we win all of our cases - we don't. Our clients tell us that knowing that we have achieved significant results, both by settlement and by jury verdict, is one factor that many of them used to decide to hire us. You certainly should ask any prospective attorney whether he or she has obtained significant verdicts and settlements but the decision to hire an attorney should not be made on this factor alone. We would be more than happy to discuss any of these cases, and many others, with you.
