Our client was backing out of a parking space when another driver did the same thing and hit the rear passenger side of her car. The other driver failed to yield, and that mistake caused the crash.
The impact led to a spine injury and damage to the sciatic nerve on her left side. Injuries like this can cause ongoing pain and make everyday activities much harder than they were before the accident.
The biggest challenge came from dealing with insurance. Before making any offer on the underinsured motorist claim, the insurance company insisted on reviewing five years of past medical records to try to find some dirt on our client. We fought back and proved that the accident caused all of the clients' issues.
In the end, the case was resolved without going to court. We were able to settle the claim before a lawsuit was filed, resulting in a total settlement of $125,000, giving our client the financial support she needed to move forward.
