How Did the Truck Accident Happen?
On one summer evening in 2021, Mr. and Mrs. Q were driving on I-10, traveling west in the left-hand lane. In the right-hand lane, a blue car hauler semi was driving next to them, headed in the same direction. Mrs. Q, who was driving, noticed brake lights and traffic ahead. She slowed down, as did the blue car hauler next to her.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a large, white semi-truck with a trailer attached came barreling between the lanes, not slowing for the traffic ahead, and sideswiped both the Q’s pickup truck and the blue car hauler semi-truck.
Mr. and Mrs. Q were pushed into the median, and the blue car hauler was pushed onto the shoulder, where they remained until police arrived on the scene.
After taking statements from all parties, police determined that the driver of the white semi-truck failed to slow down in time, causing the crash. The driver (the Defendant) was given a citation for reckless driving.
What Injuries Were Sustained in the Truck Accident?
At first, Mr. and Mrs. Q did not notice any injuries, which is common after a wreck of this sort. As a matter of fact, they waited almost 3 weeks month to seek medical attention, as they assumed the pain they were feeling was just soreness, and they hoped their pain would subside.
When Mrs. Q realized her pain would not simply go away, she made an appointment with her doctor. She went to multiple doctor and physical therapy appointments, and tried different ways to heal.
The accident had caused neck, back, shoulder, and right-side body injuries that continued to bother them. Mrs. Q was experiencing lower back pain that radiated down her leg. Additionally, Mrs. Q suffered nerve impingement at L5-S1 and L2-3, a herniation at L4-5, a herniation at L2-3, and intense headaches that were being caused by muscle spasms in her neck.
To help with the pain, Mrs. Q underwent epidural injections and facet injections, (if you say the bills were sky high then 105k does not seem sufficient). The bills continued to pile up, not only because of the price of the injections, but also because of the frequency in which she had to get them, as they’d eventually wear off and her pain would return.
In addition to the medical bills, Mr. and Mrs. Q lives were significantly affected Mrs. Q began experiencing high levels of anxiety and was unable to do things she’d normally do at the same capacity. The pain also affected her ability to stand or sit for long periods of time, which affected her work. Mr. Q was in a similar boat, as his pain made his job more difficult, he couldn’t do the same activities he used to, and his day-to-day life changed due to both of their injuries.
How Did the Truck Accident Lawyers at Ron Bell Help?
Mr. and Mrs. Q contacted Ron Bell Injury Lawyers in Albuquerque to help them. Our intake team discussed the details of their case with them and went over their timelines.
Once brought on as a client, our team moved to get Mrs. Q additional medical support and an MRI (which is difficult to get through insurance companies). The MRI showed severe injuries that other medical tests wouldn’t show. This gave the Ron Bell legal team more evidence to bring to negotiations with the insurance companies.
Ron bell Injury Lawyers helped to explain Mrs. Q’s reluctance to seek medical treatment right after the accident, and the timeline of how she came to get help after suffering for over a month. We fought to explain how the injuries were affected Mrs. Q and her husband and what the crash did to their lives.
The insurance company initially offered Mrs. Q only $10,000 for her injuries and didn’t offer Mr. Q anything.
After several back-and-forth negotiations, the experienced truck accident attorneys at Ron Bell secured $105,000 for Mrs. Q and an additional $50,000 for Mr. Q.
