Our client was driving through an intersection when a rideshare driver ran a red light and T-boned his vehicle on the driver’s side. He suffered multiple serious injuries, including broken ribs, spinal damage, a ruptured blood vessel, and a traumatic brain injury that later caused a stroke.
Initially, the police report placed fault on our client, and the ER records did not note signs of a brain injury. Not only did the police place fault on our client, the at-fault driver, and all of his passengers said we had the red light, and they had the green light.
To prove liability, our team obtained surveillance footage from a nearby fast-food restaurant and hired a video specialist to enhance it, clearly showing that the rideshare driver caused the crash. We also hired a neurosurgeon to confirm that the accident was responsible for our client’s stroke and long-term brain injury.
The insurance company first offered only $35,000, then raised it to $182,000 after we filed suit. With thorough preparation and strong expert support, we negotiated a settlement of $850,000.
