This case involved an elderly man who was seriously injured in a highway car crash. The at-fault driver crossed the highway and struck his vehicle, causing a violent collision that left him trapped inside his car. Emergency crews had to use the jaws of life to remove him from the wreck.
Our client suffered serious injuries to his left arm and stomach, both requiring surgery, along with nerve damage, a neck injury, and more.
To make matters more difficult, the at-fault driver did not have insurance. That meant we had to pursue compensation through our client's uninsured motorist (UM) coverage instead. These cases can be complicated, but we worked to make sure the insurance company fully honored the policy.
In the end, we secured the full UM policy limits, resulting in a $100,000 settlement. This outcome helped our client cover medical expenses and provided some financial security after a traumatic event.
