Belal Hamideh, a truck accident attorney based in California, recently secured a confidential settlement for a client worth $450,000. As truck accidents continue to be a common occurrence in the region, Hamideh is well-positioned to provide assistance to more victims.
As per BHL, P.C., a California-based injury law firm, the client of Hamideh was injured in a collision between an 18-wheeler truck and a car. The client was not in the car that was directly hit by the truck but was in the vehicle ahead of it. As a result of the impact, the car behind the client was pushed into their car, causing injuries to the client.
Hamideh stated that the initial offer made by the insurance company to the client was insufficient. Consequently, BHL filed a lawsuit on behalf of the client. After over twelve hours of negotiation, Hamideh’s office and the client reached a settlement for $450,000, which was significantly higher than the insurance company’s offer.
ProPublica, a non-profit newsroom, found that “more than 5,000 people die each year in crashes with large trucks, up by more than 50% compared with a decade ago.”
“No matter how safe a driver you are, you can still be struck by an 18-wheeler. These accidents are not like other vehicular accidents. The injuries can be more devastating and more parties can be liable for your injuries. The tractor-trailer driver, the company that hired them, those who loaded the truck with cargo, and many others, could be liable. We’re proud to represent truck accident victims and help them receive compensation for all that they’ve been through. We look forward to helping many others to turn their injury into a victory,” said Hamideh.
