Case Details

Our client is on I-95 in the far-right lane when he is rear-ended by a Freightliner. His vehicle spins and careens into an embankment on the side of the road. The Freightliner drives away from the scene before stopping a few miles down the road. The Freightliner claims our client improperly merged into his vehicle in the middle lane, and “he wasn’t sure he made contact with our client’s vehicle.” We immediately ordered any 911 calls and retained an accident reconstructionist who inspected the scene of the crash. The accident reconstructionist identified gouge marks in the road that confirmed the crash occurred in the far-right lane - disproving the truck driver’s version of events. The accident reconstructionist was also able to document that our client’s brake lights were engaged at the time of the crash, disproving a secondary argument concerning our client’s speed. As a result of the crash, our client suffered a back injury and a mild traumatic brain injury. Following the submission of our demand, we spent months negotiating the appropriate damages. We submitted an additional report from an audiologist to bolster our case. Phil Snyder filed suit. The case finally settled in litigation for 2x the initial offer.
