In 2017, a lady was driving down the interstate in Carrollton County, Kentucky. There was a backup on the interstate, and she began to slow down due to the heavy traffic. The next thing she knew, a semi-truck had slammed in the back of her car. She was immediately taken to the hospital and evaluated for injuries. She treated for months for low back pain and neck pain. While she was not catastrophically injured, she did have lingering back issues.
The insurance company initially offered $8,000 to settle the case. She thought that seemed low and contacted a law firm with litigation experience to help her. She hired the Dixie Law Group, PSC.
The Dixie Law Group investigated the background of the truck driver who caused the wreck. The background check showed extensive prior driving violations. After the Dixie Law Group completed their investigation, it became clear that the driver, under federal law, was not qualified to drive a truck. After this information was shared with the insurance company, the insurance company came to the table and settled the lady’s case for $125,000.
