Injury Award | Highway Accident

$200,000 Combined Verdict

A young engineer starting his career was rear-ended by a delivery truck on Rt. 93 while returning from a job site. This athletic client initially felt that he would be able to work through the neck and shoulder pain that he experienced. He did not speak to an attorney until it was evident that his physical ailments would continue for a much longer period of time. He was concerned for the financial stability of his young family. After we helped to document a real injury that competent physicians confirmed was caused by this crash, the insurance company failed to make a reasonable settlement, and we took this case to court. After a trial before a judge, the judge awarded $170,000 in damages for the engineer and $30,000 for his wife who had a right to recover for the loss of consortium. Interest and costs was added by the court on top of the verdict.
