Tomasik Kotin Kasserman Secures Multi-Million Dollar Settlements on Behalf of Truck Accident Victims

November 14, 2022 - Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, LLC regularly represents clients who have suffered serious injuries or other losses in truck accidents. In the past year, attorneys Tim Tomasik, and Loren Legorreta obtained large settlements in two separate truck accident cases.

In one case, we obtained a $5,000,000 settlement on behalf of the family of a logistics technician who was killed in a 2017 trucking accident in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The technician was run over while gathering tools and equipment from between the wheels of a tractor trailer, and the accident occurred because the driver failed to unhook the brake lines from the truck to the trailer. The victim was survived by his wife and four adult children.

In another case, we obtained a $3,700,000 settlement on behalf of a woman who was injured in a truck crash that took place in Cook County in 2019. Our client, a 76-year-old woman, was seriously injured when she was rear-ended by a semi-trailer truck while stopped in traffic. She suffered spinal cord injuries, as well as multiple facial fractures.

These victories represent just a few of the many trucking cases we have handled successfully on behalf of our clients. Other notable cases we have won include a $7.5 million verdict awarded following the death of a City of Chicago worker due to trucking negligence and a $2.2 million award to a client who was injured in a collision with a FedEx truck.
