Case Summary:

DM Injury Law Secures $800K for Client Hit by Driver Who Ran a Red Light

Our client was driving through an intersection when another driver ran a red light and turned directly in front of him. The crash happened suddenly and left our client with a concussion and other head injuries.

At first, the other driver tried to shift the blame to our client. We acted quickly, launching an investigation to uncover the truth. By gathering traffic and intersection video, dash cam footage, 911 calls, and police body-worn camera footage, we were able to clearly show that the other driver failed to obey the traffic signal. This evidence was key to proving fault as well as showing the seriousness of our client's injuries.

Once liability was established, we also uncovered additional factors that strengthened the case, including the other driver's history of driving violations.

Our client received an $800,000 settlement. This outcome covered all of our client's medical expenses and left him with substantial money in his pocket to help him move forward. Most importantly, he felt relieved and thrilled knowing the process was over and that he was treated fairly.
