JOHN DOE VS. OPERATOR OF SEMI TRUCK
Our client was operating a delivery truck on I-95 when he was rear-ended by an eighteen wheeler (semi truck). Our client had to be removed from the vehicle by stretcher.

Our client was out of work for several months and incurred substantial medical costs in excess of $300,000.00. Our client demanded that the defendant settle the case fifteen days before mediation or the defendant’s insurance carrier would be held in bad faith.

The defendant’s vehicle was insured for low limits relative to our client’s injuries. A demand was made for the policy limits.
