Our client was seriously injured in a car crash caused by a reckless driver who turned to speak to his passenger instead of focusing on the road. He failed to see that our client had not yet completed her turn at a stop sign, and he struck her vehicle with significant force. The collision left our client with a herniated disc and nerve compressions on her spine, injuries that continue to cause her daily pain and limit her activities.
Despite the seriousness of her injuries, the insurance company initially denied responsibility. They argued the crash was minor and that her injuries couldn’t have come from the impact. One of the biggest challenges we faced was proving the connection between the crash and our client’s medical condition. We relied heavily on her treatment records and a detailed letter from the Lehmen Spine Center, which directly linked her back injuries to the accident. This expert opinion became a key piece of evidence in the case.
Through careful preparation and strong legal advocacy, we were able to resolve the case before going to court. The settlement of $137,500 helped our client cover medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for her pain and suffering. Most importantly, it gave her the ability to seek future treatment and helped ease the financial burden the crash caused.
