Our client was stopped for a turning vehicle when another driver crashed into the back of his vehicle at highway speed. The impact was so severe that he suffered two brain bleeds (thankfully requiring virtually no treatment) and a torn rotator cuff, which required emergency air transport to a trauma-level ER to monitor his neurological state. He underwent shoulder surgery months later, but the procedure did little to improve his pain or mobility.
At first, he and his spouse tried to handle the insurance claim on their own. Even after everything he had been through, the insurance company refused to cover the cost of his shoulder surgery and questioned the severity of his injuries. A year after the crash, overwhelmed and not getting anywhere, they turned to our firm for help.
Our attorney stepped in and prepared a detailed demand that explained not just the medical facts, but how the injuries changed the couple’s daily life. We highlighted the lasting pain, the loss of independence, and the emotional and financial strain the crash caused.
We secured a $500,000 settlement and also worked to reduce the medical bills, allowing the couple to keep more of their recovery and move forward with greater stability.
