Fullerton Beck Secures Complete Dismissal of High-Exposure Motor Vehicle Case

Fullerton Beck LLP secured summary judgment and the complete dismissal of a high-exposure motor vehicle lawsuit transferred to the firm by its insurance carrier client seeking trial counsel. The client and their carrier were dissatisfied with the defense strategy of the former law firm and engaged Fullerton Beck instead.

The plaintiff alleged she was struck by an HVAC company van near Nassau Community College, claiming serious injuries, including a lumbar fusion. Rather than treating the case as a credibility dispute for a jury as previously opined by predecessor counsel, Fullerton Beck partners Katrine Beck and Joseph Sauer reevaluated the evidence and focused on objective GPS data from the insured vehicle. The records showed the van was parked and stationary during the time the alleged accident occurred. Supported by expert testimony validating the tracking system, the firm moved and obtained summary judgment.

The result transformed a case viewed as a settlement candidate into a complete defense victory, demonstrating Fullerton Beck’s commitment to thinking out of the box to uncover winning defenses through strategic case analysis and objective evidence.
