$125k Negotiated Settlement for U-Turn Accident

Our client was the driver of a vehicle parked at Wildwood Road, near W Lerdo Highway in Shafter, California. At that time, the insured was driving a different vehicle. Our client was parked on the side of the road waiting for their start time to clock in to go to work when the insured attempted to make a U-turn, backed up, and crashed into the driver’s side of our client’s vehicle. As a result of this collision, our client’s vehicle sustained extensive damage.
