The impact overturned Steve’s car

Steve was driving in August 2012 when a truck pulled out of a private driveway. The vehicles collided, and Steve’s car flipped over. He suffered injuries to his neck and shoulder.

He hired Brian Beckcom to pursue compensation for the injuries caused by the crash. The claim involved the truck’s insurer, Travelers.

The first offer did not end the case

The insurer initially offered $30,000 to settle Steve’s claim. Brian continued pursuing the case rather than resolving it at that amount.

The work focused on Steve’s injuries and the damages resulting from the collision as the case moved toward trial. The parties later attended mediation before the scheduled trial date.

A $375,000 settlement

The case settled for $375,000 following mediation. That was $345,000 more than the original offer.

For Steve, the case began with a collision that overturned his car and injured his neck and shoulder. Brian’s representation continued beyond the initial offer and through the mediation that produced the settlement.
