Greenberg Streich Injury Lawyers is pleased to announce a $25,000,000 confidential settlement obtained on behalf of a group of plaintiffs who suffered serious injuries in a commercial motor vehicle crash in West Texas.

The case arose from a devastating rear-end collision involving allegations that the defendant driver was distracted in the moments leading up to the crash. Despite traveling at or near the posted speed limit, the defendant driver rear-ended Plaintiffs’ vehicles, causing a mass collision.

Greenberg Streich retained a qualified accident reconstruction expert to analyze the physical evidence, vehicle data, roadway conditions, and circumstances surrounding the collision. The reconstruction demonstrated that the defendant driver never applied the brakes or took any meaningful evasive action before impact. That evidence provided substantial support for Plaintiffs’ distracted-driving allegations and helped establish the preventable nature of the crash.

From the beginning of the litigation, Greenberg Streich developed an aggressive case strategy designed to move the claims toward trial without unnecessary delay. Drawing on the firm’s experience handling complex commercial motor vehicle cases, the attorneys pursued an intensive schedule of depositions, expert development, discovery, and contested hearings. The team worked to identify the critical liability evidence, challenge the defendants’ positions, and maintain maximum pressure throughout the litigation.

Greenberg Streich also devoted significant attention to documenting the full extent of each plaintiff’s injuries and demonstrating how the collision affected their health, employment, families, and future quality of life.

The defendants’ offer at mediation did not adequately reflect the evidence or the magnitude of the plaintiffs’ damages. Rather than accept an insufficient result, Greenberg Streich continued preparing the case for trial. After only 14 months of litigation, the firm secured a confidential $25,000,000 settlement, more than double the amount offered at mediation.

The result reflects Greenberg Streich’s commitment to thoroughly developing catastrophic injury cases, maintaining litigation pressure, and pursuing full and fair compensation for people harmed by commercial drivers and the companies that employ them.
