In June 2005, Dennis Krueger was injured while on the job as a truck driver for Twin Lakes Transit.  He sustained a fractured collarbone, multiple fractures to his spine and his ribs, spleen injuries, bruising to his heart, and knee and thigh injuries.  After extensive surgical and medical treatment, Mr. Krueger received $500,000.00 as settlement for his injuries. This settlement agreement was reached without the necessity of a lawsuit, less than one year after Mr. Krueger’s accident.

Initially, following this accident, the at-fault driver was not forthcoming with his insurance information.  Our office investigated and found an insurance policy worth $500,000.00 to cover Mr. Krueger’s claim for damages. 

Hupy and Abraham, S.C. was able to convince the insurance company to pay the full policy limits to Mr. Krueger, despite the fact that he had not yet completed all of his medical treatment.  Our hard work on his case allowed Mr. Krueger to keep a large portion of settlement proceeds that may have otherwise been owed to his worker’s compensation carrier for expenses it paid from this accident.
