Pedestrian Accident
Our client was an innocent bystander who was standing at a bus stop in
Kansas City, Missouri. A vehicle ran a red light, colliding with another
vehicle at the intersection. The collision forced the vehicle into the
sidewalk, which then struck our client. She suffered a fractured hip and
was in the hospital for over a month. The insurance companies disputed
which vehicle was at fault for the accident, as well as the total amount
of the medical expenses incurred by our client. We were able to obtain
settlements from the insurance companies for both of the vehicles involved
in the accident. Because the vehicles involved in the crash did not have
sufficient insurance, we were also able to obtain underinsured motorist
benefits for our client. In connection with the settlement, we were also

her medical providers.
