Our client and his 11-year-old son were going to pick up his older son from work. When our father got out of the car, the young son accidentally set the car in drive, causing our client to be pinned between his vehicle and a brick wall.
This accident caused our client to suffer a broken fibula and tibia and fractured his left leg. He was taken to Overland Park Regional Hospital to have surgery and stayed there for 7 days. Our client’s insurance coverage has a $300,000 policy limit. Liability could have been an issue in this case because there was no third party at fault. However, our car accident attorney highlighted the severity of the injuries. Progressive saw that the injuries were so overwhelming, so they immediately offered a $283,300 settlement, just shy of the $300K maximum.
