Big Rig Accident Case Settles for $85K After Plaintiff’s Attorney Files Suit

Jan. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- On June 11, 2010, a 52-year-old driver of a tractor trailer was rear-ended by a big rig on the I-5 in Shasta, California. The 52-year-old accident victim sustained injuries to his neck and back as a result of the collision. The injured trucker hired the Santa Monica personal injury law firm McGee, Lerer, & Associates to represent him in his trucking accident claim.

The trucking company Swift Transportation admitted fault in the accident; however, the company disputed the nature and extent of the victim’s injuries, as well as the true necessity of his medical treatment. The case settled in December of 2012 after McGee, Lerer & Associates filed a lawsuit. The settlement amount was for $85,000.

The personal injury law firm McGee, Lerer & Associates is run by husband and wife team Daniel McGee and Catherine Lerer, who have a combined 37 years of experience representing serious accident victims in Santa Monica and throughout Los Angeles County. Attorneys Daniel McGee and Catherine Lerer have a track record for securing multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements in their representation of serious accident victims as well as wrongful death claims. The firm has the experience, resources and negotiation and trial experience to secure maximum compensation on behalf of their clients.

The attorneys at the firm understand how accident victims are rarely financially or emotionally prepared for the consequences of an injury accident. For this reason the firm doesn’t charge any upfront legal fees, and the work they do is entirely on a contingency fee basis. This means their legal fees are only paid out of a settlement or a jury award; therefore, if they recover nothing, you don’t owe them a dime.

The firm’s dedicated and proven husband and wife legal team represents clients in a wide variety of personal injury claims including but not limited to: car accidents, drunk driving accidents, bicycle accidents, dog bites, motorcycle accidents, dangerous products, truck accidents, nursing home negligence, wrongful death and everything in between. When you call their office, you will speak directly to attorneys McGee and Lerer, whereas with other firms, clients are often shuffled about between legal assistants, secretaries and voicemail. The attorneys at the firm will work diligently to help you understand the details of your situation and will answer all of your questions and provide you with personalized and caring assistance.
