Kalka & Baer Recover $205,000 for Couple Injured by Tractor-Trailer

ATLANTA - March 16, 2015 - PRLog -- A couple suffered severe injuries when they were leaving a Banks County Wal-Mart.  As they were stopped at an intersection, a fully-loaded Swift Transportation trailer contracted by Wal-Mart collided with one car before careening into the couple’s vehicle, dragging it almost forty feet.  Their car was partly trapped beneath the trailer, both victims suffering multiple injuries.  The husband even needed to undergo back surgery due to his injuries.

The couple’s injuries cost them a considerable amount in medical bills while the trucking company would not admit to being liable for the accident and refused to pay the couple’s medical bills.  At the same time, the couple’s health insurer would not pay their bills either, as the accident was the fault of another party.

The couple reached out to Kalka & Baer for help and the firm filed a lawsuit in the State Court of Clayton County where they deposed the truck driver, safety director, dispatcher, and a representative from Swift Company all in turn.  Kalka & Baer proceeded to scrutinize these entities before reaching a settlement thanks to the mediation process only weeks before the trial was due to begin.  The couple was awarded $205,000 for their injuries.

This sum is just a fraction of the millions of dollars Kalka & Baer has been able to recover in their more than 20 years of operation.  The Atlanta personal injury attorney from Kalka & Baer have also been recognized by Avvo, Super Lawyers® and The National Trial lawyers for their successes in and out of the courtroom.
