A rear-end crash at 23rd Street and Massachusetts in Lawrence left our client dealing with a torn meniscus and ongoing neck and back pain. To make matters more difficult, the insurance company refused to make any pre-suit offer at all, valuing the case at $0. Our client was also uninsured and had no health insurance, creating additional obstacles to getting the medical care he needed.
Rather than walking away, our Lawrence, KS, car accident lawyer got to work. We helped our client obtain treatment and aggressively prepared the case for trial. That preparation included taking depositions, working with multiple witnesses, gathering evidence, and building a strong case from the ground up. When the insurance company still refused to offer fair compensation, we took the case all the way to a multi-day jury trial.
Trials are exceptionally rare in personal injury cases. Studies show that only about 4% of injury cases ever make it to a jury trial, and even then, outcomes are never guaranteed. Plaintiffs win only about half of personal injury trials nationwide.
After presenting the evidence to a jury, we secured a verdict of more than $24,000 for our client. While that may not seem like a headline-grabbing number, the result represents something significant: turning a $0 pre-suit offer into a successful jury verdict after hard work, extensive trial preparation, and the willingness to fight for a client when the insurance company refused to do the right thing.
