Our client suffered life-altering injuries while riding as a passenger on a UTV in Barry County, Missouri. The driver was speeding and operating the vehicle recklessly when it overturned. During the crash, our client was violently ejected from the UTV, sustaining a skull fracture and traumatic brain bleeding that required extensive medical treatment and created a terrifying ordeal for both the client and his family.
To build the strongest possible case, our team conducted a comprehensive investigation and gathered every available piece of evidence. We obtained and analyzed all police and investigative reports, performed extensive background research on the responsible parties, and evaluated every potential source of insurance coverage. We also retained a neurologist to assess the client’s condition and provide insight into how the brain injury could affect him as he ages. In addition, we spent significant time with the client’s family to fully understand how the injury had changed their daily lives.
To help the insurance company appreciate the real impact of the crash, we conducted video interviews with family members and witnesses, allowing the insurance carrier to see firsthand how the injuries affected the client and those closest to him.
Through this thorough investigation and presentation of evidence, we demonstrated the driver’s reckless conduct, the seriousness of the client’s injuries, and the long-term consequences of the crash. As a result, the case resolved with a $1,250,000 settlement, providing the client and his family with financial support as they continue focusing on recovery and rebuilding their lives.
