Middletown, Connecticut – Stanfield Bechtel Law announced today that the firm secured a multimillion-dollar settlement in a catastrophic injury case involving a truck accident.

The Backdrop

Our client, a Connecticut resident, was violently rear-ended by a tractor-trailer. He was trying to get to the next exit off the highway before he ran out of gas. As he sat in his car on the side of the road with the tank empty, a tractor-trailer failed to see him in time and violently slammed into the back of his car, sending him hundreds of feet up the road before coming to a stop off the side of the highway.

Our client sustained severe and life-altering injuries as a result of the accident. While he was in the hospital, his wife spoke with multiple attorneys seen in various advertisements on television, radio and billboards, all of whom claimed to have experience handling cases involving tractor-trailers. Surprisingly, they all turned down the case because the police report did not fault the tractor-trailer driver.

The couple was in despair until they contacted our attorneys. Given our extensive experience handling the unique aspects of tractor-trailer accidents, we knew what evidence to request and review from the trucking company. , We quickly realized that they had a solid case against the tractor-trailer company and truck driver based on evidence and records we obtained from the trucking company.
