Attorney Brenda Odufuwa Secures Over $400,000 Settlement in Commercial Truck Rear-End Case

Angel Reyes & Associates Recovers Six Figures for Client with Serious Injuries and Disputed Liability

Attorney Brenda Odufuwa of Angel Reyes & Associates has secured a settlement of more than $400,000 for a client who was rear-ended by a commercial truck and left with serious injuries requiring future medical care.

What made this result especially significant was that liability was not fully accepted by the other side, with the defendant’s insurer ultimately accepting only 75 percent fault. This made the recovery our team built all the more important to fight for.

Disputed Liability in a Commercial Truck Case

Commercial truck cases come with their own set of challenges, and this one was no exception. Our client was rear-ended by a commercial vehicle and sustained serious injuries, including conditions that required future medical treatment and a recommended surgery. From the start, the defendant’s insurer pushed back on liability, ultimately conceding only 75 percent of the fault rather than accepting full responsibility for the crash.

That kind of disputed liability environment puts real pressure on the injured party. It gives the insurance company a foothold to reduce what they’re willing to pay, and it makes it that much harder to recover what the case is truly worth. Our job was to shift the focus away from that liability dispute and build a case around what our client actually needed to move forward.

Building the Case Around Future Damages

Rather than letting the liability argument drive the narrative, Attorney Odufuwa focused the strategy on the full picture of our client’s injuries and what they would need going forward. That meant looking beyond past medical bills and putting together a clear, well-supported case for future care needs.

Our team obtained a Physician’s Life Care Plan, a detailed assessment that documents future medical treatment, anticipated surgeries, and long-term care requirements. This kind of evidence shifts the conversation from what already happened to what the client will continue to face. It forces the insurer to look at the full value of the injury rather than trying to minimize it to a snapshot in time.

With that foundation in place, Attorney Odufuwa applied consistent negotiation pressure throughout the life of the case, keeping the focus on our client’s long-term needs and refusing to let the disputed liability percentage become a ceiling on recovery. The result was a settlement of more than $400,000.

What This Case Reflects About Our Approach

Disputed liability cases are exactly where preparation and strategy matter most. When an insurer has any opening to argue that their driver wasn’t fully at fault, they will use it.

At Angel Reyes & Associates, we prepare for that from the beginning. We don’t build our cases around the best-case scenario. We build them to hold up under pressure, and we advocate hard for what our clients deserve, regardless of how the other side frames the facts.

This settlement is a reflection of that work, and we are proud of what Attorney Odufuwa was able to deliver for this client.
