Leatherwood & Schindler Trial Lawyers secured a $400,000 settlement in a trucking accident case in Arkansas, despite significant liability disputes.
Responsibility for the collision was contested, complicating the claim and the process of pursuing compensation.
Because the case arose outside Texas, the applicable law and the accident circumstances are important considerations in evaluating the claim.
Pursuing compensation when liability is disputed
When liability is disputed in a trucking accident case, resolving the claim can be challenging.
Insurance companies may disagree with an injured person’s account of the collision, argue that another party was responsible, or dispute the amount of compensation being sought.
These disagreements make careful case preparation especially important.
Evaluating a trucking accident claim involves investigating the circumstances of the collision, reviewing the available evidence, understanding the applicable law, and assessing the potential risks of trial.
A dispute over fault does not necessarily prevent a case from settling, but the evidence and circumstances of each case determine what options are available.
A $400,000 resolution
Despite the disagreement over responsibility for the collision, the Arkansas trucking accident case resolved for $400,000.
The settlement resolved the disputed claim without a final trial verdict.
Each trucking accident case presents different circumstances. The strength of the evidence, applicable law, the nature of the injuries, and the parties’ positions can all affect how a claim is evaluated and resolved.
