$300,000 Settlement After Disputed-Liability Truck Accident on I-880 in Fremont, CA

Attorney Samer Habbas and Gary Wong Secures Strong Result Through Strategic Litigation

Recent Case Result: Commercial Truck Collision

Our client was driving southbound on Interstate 880 near the Decoto Road exit in Fremont, California, when an 18 wheeler suddenly merged from the freeway shoulder into active traffic. Unable to stop in time, our client collided into the truck.

Despite the clear unsafe maneuver, the trucking company and its driver denied liability, claiming our client could have avoided the crash. No pre-litigation offer was made, forcing the case into full litigation.

What Made This Truck Accident Case Unique

This commercial vehicle accident presented complex liability issues. The defense contested fault, attempting to shift blame onto our client. With no pre-litigation demand sent, our firm had to build the case from the ground up through investigation, witness testimony, and analysis of the truck driver’s actions.

The crash involved a truck merging from the shoulder, a scenario that can create uncertainty in insurance liability—but our team methodically proved fault through accident reconstruction and legal strategy.

Legal Strategy & Discovery

Attorney Samer Habbas and his team at Samer Habbas & Associates, PC filed a lawsuit against both the driver and his employer, under theories of negligent operation, supervision, training and vicarious liability.

Through discovery, our attorneys established that the truck driver was acting within the course and scope of his employment when the collision occurred. By highlighting the defendant’s unsafe driving and failure to assure traffic was clear upon reentering the highway, we were successful in forcing the Defendants to justly compensate our client.

Settlement & Client Outcome

After months of litigation, failed mediation, and continued liability disputes, Attorneys Samer Habbas and Gary Wong secured a $300,000 settlement for our client. This was achieved through relentless litigation, underscoring the strength of the evidence and the firm’s persistence.
