Our clients, a woman and her two daughters, were driving to the airport around 3 AM when another vehicle struck them on the highway. The crash caused a major pile-up involving multiple cars and brought traffic to a stop. What was supposed to be the start of a meaningful family trip quickly turned into a frightening and painful experience.
The mother suffered injuries to her foot, ankle, and shoulder, and continues to need medical care, including future shoulder surgery. Beyond the physical pain, the crash also caused emotional and financial stress. Because of the accident, she and her daughters missed a family reunion in Mexico, a trip they had planned and paid for but were never able to take.
The insurance company initially offered only $75,000, an amount that did not come close to covering the value of her injuries or the losses this family suffered. Our team pushed back by clearly showing the full emotional and financial impact of the crash, including medical treatment, future care needs, and the money lost on the missed trip. Through persistent negotiation, we secured a $250,000 settlement for this mother and her two daughters.
