Our client was injured when another driver ran a red light and crashed into their car. The accident caused a serious spinal cord injury, requiring ongoing medical care.
The insurance company initially offered just $5,500, far below what was needed for treatment and recovery. Our team obtained a letter from the doctor outlining future medical needs, which helped show the long-term impact of the injury.
The insurance adjuster requested 10 years of prior medical records, but our attorney limited the request to 5 years and had the client provide only relevant records. After reviewing them, the insurance company saw there was no prior medical history related to the injury.
Recognizing the severity of the case, the insurer ultimately raised its offer to the full policy limits. The case settled for $250,000 giving our client fair compensation for their injuries and future care.
