Settlement Reached for U.S. Marshal Injured While Trying to Help an Injured Highway Passenger


By Jeremy Johnston

On his way to a meeting, U.S. Marshal Raymond Fleck witnessed the aftermath of a serious auto collision.  He saw a passenger in need of help, activated his emergency lights, and began to slow and pull off the road. When his SUV reached the shoulder, a van struck him from behind. The impact lifted Raymond’s vehicle off the ground and blew his gear out of the back window. The van spun 180 degrees, came to rest, and caught fire. Raymond was left with multiple injuries including a concussion and lower back injury. He continues to suffer from limitations and pain as a result of the incident.

Raymond’s case settled for 150K. 

One of the important things when settling an insurance claim is not to accept it too hastily.  When you settle, you relieve the insurance company of all future expenses.  In many cases, injuries don’t present themselves right away, so if you settle too soon, you will be responsible for your injuries that might emerge after the settlement. 

After seeing a doctor, you should contact an attorney to find out about your rights as an accident victim.
