Six-Figure Settlement for Guard Struck by Truck
Samuel Lucero was caught in legal limbo. There was no doubt that the 36-year-old security guard had been hit by a tractor-trailer at his workplace on Terminal Island, but because the driver pleaded guilty to assaulting the guard, the company's insurer refused to cover Lucero's damages because the policy excludes intentional acts.
Enter Roger Gordon. The veteran Personal Injury attorney pieced together how the attack really took place and elicited a confession from the driver. "He never intended to harm our client. He only pleaded guilty to avoid prison time," Gordon said.
With the admission of an unintentional act, the insurance company was liable for damages and paid Lucero $575,000.
