Our client was a passenger in a vehicle when another driver failed to yield the right of way and caused a collision in Independence, Missouri, near 23rd Street and Hub Drive. As a result of the crash, our client suffered a fractured sternum, a fractured rib, and a closed head injury. These are painful and serious injuries that can affect every part of a person's daily life.
Early on, we made sure the insurance company fully understood the extent of our client's injuries and the long-term impact they could have. The initial offer was $130,000, but we knew that didn't fairly reflect what our client had been through.
In the end, our attorney was able to negotiate a [**settlement of $200,000**](https://www.dmlawusa.com/settlement-checks/) for our client. This settlement was more than enough to cover his medical bills and other expenses.
