Our client was driving through a green light near SE 5th Street and Highway 291 in Kansas City when a teenage driver failed to yield while turning left and T-boned her vehicle. The impact pushed her car head-on into a pole, deploying the airbags. Emergency crews removed her from the vehicle and transported her by ambulance to a local trauma center. The other driver was ticketed at the scene.
Following the crash, our client suffered neck and back injuries as well as head and brain injuries. She missed time from work, faced growing medical bills, and no longer had reliable transportation while trying to recover. To make matters worse, the insurance company was slow to respond and initially offered just $60,000 to settle the case.
Our Kansas City car accident lawyer continued building the case and secured a medical opinion outlining the future care she would likely need, including additional treatment such as MRIs and physical therapy. We also highlighted concerns about the long-term effects that head injuries can have on young people. After pushing back against the insurance company’s low offer, we successfully recovered a $100,000 KC car crash settlement for our client.
