Our client was sitting in his parked car in a university parking lot in Kansas when another driver backed into his vehicle. While the crash seemed minor at first, it led to serious pain and an unexpected shoulder injury.
After the collision, our client was diagnosed with a torn right labrum. This type of injury can make everyday tasks like lifting, reaching, driving, and even sleeping much more difficult.
The insurance company initially treated the crash as too minor to cause a significant injury. We pushed back and showed that even low-impact accidents can lead to real and lasting harm, depending on how the body moves during the collision.
Because of that work, we secured a $100,000 car accident settlement for our client. This result is a reminder that you should never assume a “small” accident means small injuries.
