It is very important for an attorney to send a spoliation letter out immediately demanding the trucking company\/driver\/insurance carrier preserve evidence, including vehicle data and driver logs.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Our Dallas injury law firm quickly submitted a demand to preserve evidence to the company that owned and operated the truck. Our client had health insurance but couldn\u2019t afford the co-pays and deductibles that would be necessary for her to obtain the comprehensive medical treatment necessary for her to recover from her injuries.

She was able to get relief from her neck pain after undergoing trigger point injections. Her lumbar pain was relieved by an epidural steroid injection and facet injections.

She was scared to drive for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>I explained to the adjuster that most motorists are already fearful of large trucks. Obviously that fear is going to be significantly increased if you happen to be in a major wreck with one.

Attorney fees were $56,000. Case expenses were $206.87. After paying medical providers, the client\u2019s net recovery was $101,037.63.
