After paying repair and rental costs, an insurer pursued a transportation company and its driver. A settlement cheque and signed release preceded withdrawal of the court action.

The situation

An insurer’s policyholders were involved in a collision with a commercial vehicle operated on behalf of a transportation company. The insurer paid repair and rental costs before referring the file for recovery.

Our approach

Precision Paralegal Services ran a corporate search on the transportation company, drafted the Schedule A pleading and filed a civil claim.

We completed and confirmed service on both the corporate defendant and the individual driver.

The claim settled. We obtained a signed release and confirmed the settlement cheque before filing a Notice of Withdrawal to close the court action.

The outcome

The claim settled, the settlement cheque was confirmed and the release was signed. The court action was formally withdrawn.

What this case illustrates

This file involved both a corporate operator and an individual driver. Confirming the company’s legal identity and completing service on both defendants were concrete steps toward a settlement documented by payment, a release and withdrawal of the action.
