When commercial drivers and the companies that employ them fail to prioritize safety, the consequences can be life changing. Link & Associates, P.C. is committed to uncovering the truth, holding negligent parties accountable, and securing the compensation their clients need to move forward.
$1.5 Million Settlement: Careless Delivery Van Driver Causes Serious Neck and Back Injuries:
In 2025, Felipe Link and his team secured a $1,500,000 settlement for a client who suffered significant neck and back injuries after being struck by a delivery truck. The defendant driver pulled out from a stop sign and T-boned their client's vehicle yet later attempted to shift blame during litigation.
Felipe’s team investigation uncovered critical body camera footage from responding officers that captured the driver admitting at the scene that he failed to yield the right of way. Further investigation revealed a history of reckless driving by the defendant. Link & Associates successfully demonstrated that the driver's employer was negligent in hiring and retaining him, despite his unsafe driving record.
By establishing both the driver's negligence and the employer's responsibility, the firm proved the full extent of its client's injuries, including the need for future medical care, resulting in a $1.5 million settlement.
$2 Million Settlement: Distracted Driver Causes Career-Ending Injuries:
In 2024, Link & Associates obtained a $2,000,000 settlement for a 69-year-old client who suffered severe neck and back injuries after being struck by a company truck. The injuries ultimately forced her into retirement and required multiple surgeries.
The defense argued that Felipe Link's client's injuries were simply the result of age rather than the collision. Through expert medical testimony, the firm demonstrated that her symptoms began only after the crash and that similar injuries could occur to individuals of any age involved in such a collision. Further evidence showed that the defendant driver was distracted by Facebook on his phone at the time of the crash.
Felipe’s team also exposed the insurance company's expert witness as unqualified and biased. Additionally, although the defendants attempted to distance themselves from the driver by disputing employment relationships, Link & Associates successfully held both the company and staffing agency accountable for his negligence.
Results that Matter:
These cases demonstrate the importance of thorough investigation, aggressive advocacy, and a willingness to challenge powerful companies and insurance carriers. By uncovering key evidence and holding all responsible parties accountable, Link & Associates, P.C. helps clients obtain the financial resources needed for their recovery and future care.
