As a result, Muchnick Haber Margolis won a unanimous verdict that was thirty times what the trucking company suggested at trial.

  Muchnick Haber Margolis represented the wife after her husband died two years after the collision with a gasoline tanker truck. The man injured his neck, shoulder and back and had surgeries over the next couple years. After one of the surgeries he died of a stroke and we alleged the accident caused the surgery and the stroke was a complication of that surgery, so the truck driver and company were responsible for the death.

• $1 Million Settlement – Trucking Accidents

  $1 Million Settlement

  Trucking Accidents

  In 2018, Josh helped a Springfield woman obtain the $1 million insurance policy limits in a highly-contested tractor-trailer case. The trucking company spent years blaming the victim for speeding and not paying attention while its driver was making a turn. It also claimed she was not injured because she did not have any broken bones or visible injuries. We hired an expert and used drone footage to show the truck driver did not make a proper turn. Numerous medical experts were also used to establish our client suffered from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a rare disorder in which pain is out of proportion to the injury.
