Injury Case | Auto Accident

$400,000 Jury Verdict Plus Interest and Expenses

After the insurance company refused to make a fair settlement offer, we filed suit with our client’s permission and took the case to court. A fair New Hampshire jury awarded her $400,000 for past medical expenses, diminished quality of life and permanent injury. The insurance company attorney argued that our client previously was in poor health and her quality of life would have eroded without the accident. The medical expert that we retained testified via videotape that our client had a permanent injury caused by the crash despite her previous health concerns. The insurance company disputed the $27,000 in medical bills that we attributed to post accident treatment. The jury verdict was approximately 6 times more than the last unreasonable offer made by the insurance company. The insurance company continued to fight and filed a motion for a new trial. The trial judge denied the motion, stating that the verdict was reasonable, under the circumstances, and also awarded interest and costs. Since our client was receiving governmental benefits by this time, we were able to establish a Special Needs Trust that allowed her to keep her benefits. (Total payout including interest and costs – $471,000)
