Crangle has defended large transport companies involved in serious motor vehicle accident cases that resulted in injuries. Many trucking companies have high insurance deductibles, which means that the trucking company has to hire its own lawyer to defend the case. The insurance policy only kicks in if the damages are above a certain amount. Crangle will provide a skilled and vigorous defence on behalf of the company. Crangle will report to the company and insurer to give an opinion about the evidence that has come out in the case, what steps are involved in the litigation process, and how much reserve the company should expect to set-aside in the event that there is any finding of fault against the company.
Crangle has travelled throughout Ontario for cases. Defending motor vehicle accident cases typically take at least a few years or more depending on the seriousness of the injuries involved. The trucking company needs to preserve the driver’s log book who was involved in the accident, as well as onboard video and notes made from any internal investigation or witness. Crangle will guide the company through this process with an view to achieve the best result possible.
