$700,000 Settlement on Trucking Accident Case

Matthew Sauter of Sauter Sullivan represented an individual whose vehicle was hit by a tractor trailer exiting a parking lot in St. Louis County, Missouri. The investigating police office initially partially blamed the accident on our client. Our client had pre-existing degenerative conditions in his neck and back. Subsequent to the accident, our client underwent spine fusion surgery. The trucking company disputed liability and took the position that our client’s injuries were the result of degenerative conditions and not the accident. After filing suit, hiring multiple experts, and taking multiple depositions, Matthew Sauter was able to achieve a settlement of $700,000 shortly before trial in this truck accident case.
