Injury Case | Car Accident Jury Award

$150,000 Jury Verdict (5 Times What Insurance Company Offered)

Our client, a single parent mom, was hurt in a car crash when she was stopped at a
red light. Two other drivers crashed into each other and then both crashed into her. She was simply stopped at a light waiting to proceed. Our client was not at fault and she was hurt primarily in the neck and shoulder area. She wore a sling at work for a several weeks and continued to feel the symptoms of the accident at the time that the case went to court three (3) years later. Our doctor indicated that our client had a permanent injury caused by this crash, although she was functioning fairly well in life. The two insurance companies blamed each other for the accident and later offered a settlement that was far less from what we felt our client deserved. The jury listened carefully to the evidence presented and awarded our client 5 times what the insurance company last offered, plus interest and costs. This case proves that it is a good idea to ask for a second opinion on value by an experienced attorney if you feel that the insurance company is not being fair with their offer.
