Our client was a train engineer who was nearing retirement when a crash suddenly disrupted their life. Another driver made an unsafe left turn and hit them, causing serious shoulder injuries.
The client suffered a torn rotator cuff, which required medical treatment and impacted their ability to work. Knowing how intense their job is, we worked to fully document the extent of their injuries and what they would need moving forward. This included outlining a future treatment plan that included expected medical care, possible surgery, physical therapy, and the wages they stood to lose because of the accident.
We first presented this information to the at-fault driver’s insurance company, making it clear how significantly the injury affected our client’s life. Then, to make sure our client got enough money for their losses, we also pursued additional compensation through their own underinsured motorist coverage, using the same detailed evidence.
In the end, the case settled for $160,000. This outcome helped provide financial relief and gave our client the support they needed to focus on their health and their transition into retirement.
