Recent Examples – How Much Can I Expect For a Lower Back Pain Car Accident Settlement or Any Back Injury in a Car Accident Settlement?

$185,000 Settlement – Lower Back Injury & Sciatica with Surgery Settlement from Truck Accident

While leaving a Walmart parking lot, our client’s vehicle was struck by a large transport truck operated by Swift Transportation. The truck driver made an abrupt left turn, colliding with another vehicle before forcefully impacting our client’s pickup truck. The impact dragged the client’s vehicle for a significant distance, resulting in lower back pain and sciatica.

Despite the severity of the accident, Swift Transportation initially denied liability. Our client sought legal representation from a personal injury attorney specializing in trucking accidents. Recognizing the complexity of the case and Mr. Kalka’s expertise, the initial attorney referred our client to Mr. Kalka for litigation.

Through dedicated investigation and legal work, Mr. Kalka established that the truck driver’s lack of experience played a key role in causing the collision. Additionally, evidence gathered demonstrated that surveillance footage of our client could sway a jury towards significant compensation.

Facing compelling evidence and potential trial costs, Swift Transportation requested mediation to resolve the case outside of court. After strategically navigating various pre-mediation motions, Mr. Kalka agreed to mediation with the condition that a higher-level company representative from Phoenix be present.

Prior to mediation, the highest offer from Swift had been $14,000. However, through skilled negotiation and representation, Mr. Kalka was able to secure a significantly higher settlement of $185,000.
