Our client was rear-ended by another motorist and suffered from pain in her knee, hip, lower back, neck, and head. Learn the details of this case here.
Slip and fall on water on the floor of a gas station convenience store. Our client sustained injuries to her wrist and arm which required physical therapy.
As she slowed to make a right turn, our client was rear-ended on the highway. She instantly suffered injury to her head, neck, and knee. Our client treated aggressively for a few months following her car crash until she was told by a physician that there was really nothing further could be done to assist her pain. Over a year passed and she did not get additional treatment. However, at some point she did return to treatment, saw several different medical providers and ultimately underwent spinal injections which helped to improve her pain. The defense argued that plaintiff was “doctor shopping” – going from doctor to doctor despite being discharged. The defense also argued that another injury, not the crash, likely occurred during the year she was not getting treatment. We mediated the case with a retired judge and ultimately, the at-fault adjuster agreed to pay $80,000 to compensate the Illinois woman for her injuries.
We were recently able to settle a case involving a rear-end motor vehicle collision for $60,000. Our client was sitting at a stop light, and she was hit from behind at a very low rate of speed, resulting in very little property damage to her truck. To further complicate matters, our client had a treatment history going back more than a decade that included surgery, injections, and pain medication on the exact same body part she injured in this collision. So often we deal with cases where a motor vehicle crash or other incident of trauma causes an exacerbation of a pre-existing injury. Insurance companies typically view these clients as “damaged goods,” and do everything they can to avoid compensating them for the exacerbations these incidents cause. This settlement represented a 4-fold increase in the insurance company’s pre-suit settlement offer that we were able to extract after taking their driver’s deposition and establishing the nature and extent of our client’s injuries.
We tried to settle the case without filing a lawsuit, but the insurance company offered little value because of the small amount of damage to the bumper and the prior medical history. We filed a lawsuit in order to show the insurance company that we were serious about this claim and representing our client. Please contact us if you are involved in a motor vehicle crash.
