Our client, an elderly man, was hit by a car that turned left in front of him. The collision totaled our client’s car and left him with 7 broken ribs. Since there isn’t much you can do to treat broken ribs, the client incurred less than $10,000 in medical bills when it was all said and done.
Despite the relatively small amount of medical treatment, our client had to suffer for a long time. The insurance company wanted to base their offer on the low cost of treatment and lack of follow-up care, but our car accident lawyer was able to negotiate a $100,000 settlement for our client, more than 10x his medical bills.
