Crossen Law Firm Secures $3 Million Settlement
In a heartbreaking incident from Indianapolis, the Crossen Law Firm has successfully resolved a wrongful death case related to a tragic bicycle and truck collision. The settlement, which amounts to $3 million, has been reached pre-suit, providing timely financial relief for the family left behind.
The incident involved a 32-year-old father who was riding his bicycle home after work. He was cautious and dressed in high-visibility clothing, including long pants and a reflective jacket, to ensure he was noticeable to motorists. Nevertheless, while he was in the designated pedestrian crosswalk at a marked intersection, a truck driver failed to stop and collided with him. Reports indicate that the driver was operating his employer's vehicle and had been under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Tragically, this accident resulted in the loss of the victim's life, leaving behind a young daughter who depended on him. As the sole provider for his family, the financial implications of such a sudden loss were profound, with both emotional and monetary hardships placed on them.
Legal Action and Accountability
In the aftermath of this devastating collision, the Crossen Law Firm acted swiftly to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident. Their team worked diligently to preserve crucial evidence and assess the extent of the driver's impairment as well as the liabilities of the trucking company. Their strategic and aggressive approach ensured that accountability was established without subjecting the grieving family to prolonged courtroom battles.
Trevor Crossen, a representative of the firm, commented, "This tragedy was completely preventable. Our client was diligent in his safety measures, wearing reflective clothing and utilizing the crosswalk. It is unacceptable for families to endure the loss of loved ones due to someone else's reckless choices. We ensured that his daughter will have the financial resources needed for a secure future."
Impact of the Settlement
The $3 million settlement reflects the complete amount available through the underlying and excess insurance coverage. By resolving the case before it escalated to a trial, the Crossen Law Firm was able to expedite financial support for the victim's daughter, which will be instrumental in addressing her education, living expenses, and future necessities.
While compensation cannot truly replace the irreplaceable, the outcome will provide the necessary support for the young girl growing up without her father. It offers her a chance for a more stable and promising future, allowing her to focus on her development without the added burden of financial strain.
