DM Injury Law Secures $125K for Smithville Client Hurt in Road Rage Accident

Our client was driving on a city street in Smithville when a frightening road rage incident turned violent. Another driver became aggressive, tried to pass by driving over a roundabout, and then intentionally rammed our client's vehicle. 

After the collision, I experienced significant pain. The insurance company initially offered just $29,000 to settle the case. Because our client was still hurting and the full extent of her injuries had not been revealed, we denied the low offer. 

We listened to our client. We helped her receive the medical care she needed to treat these pains. As treatment continued, an MRI revealed the true extent of the injuries. The torn ligaments ultimately required surgery, confirming that the injuries were much more serious than the insurance company had suggested. We continued building the case while our client focused on recovery. 

We also investigated the at-fault driver and uncovered evidence of a history of aggressive behavior. Witnesses, including former neighbors, came forward and provided video footage showing similar acts of intimidation and aggression. By presenting the full story and the evidence supporting our client's claim, we secured a final settlement of $125,000 for a road rage car accident case in Smithville.
