Beimdiek Reduces Plaintiff’s Award by Settlement Offset
In a recent multi-vehicle crash case, a jury initially awarded the plaintiff, $500,000, but Lashly & Baer attorney Stephen Beimdiek, successfully reduced the verdict to just $10,000. The court found the plaintiff largely at fault, attributing 92% of the blame to him due to his slow driving speed, while our client was deemed only 8% responsible. After applying a settlement offset, the final amount received was drastically lowered, highlighting the complexities of liability in multi-vehicle accidents.
