Our clients, a woman and her father, were driving when another motorist, who was texting and traveling at around 90 miles per hour, slammed into their vehicle. The impact was so violent that the car rolled multiple times and landed upside down.
Both victims suffered serious injuries, including head and neck injuries. Investigators cited the at-fault driver for multiple violations, including careless driving, improper passing, failing to signal, and equipment issues. These negligent actions helped clearly show that the crash was preventable and caused by reckless behavior behind the wheel.
At first, the insurance company refused to negotiate and made a low settlement offer due to low medical bills. By sharing detailed victim impact statements and clearly explaining how the injuries affected our clients’ daily lives, we were able to help our clients recover more.
Combined, our clients received settlements totaling $240,000, which was more than twice the initial insurance offer. The settlements helped cover medical bills, ongoing treatment, medications, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Most importantly, it gave our clients a sense of recognition and closure, helping them begin to rebuild and move forward after a traumatic event.
