$80,000 For Female T-boned at a Stop Sign

Our client, a middle-aged female, was traveling down a rural road in Richland County when she was t-boned by a young driver who failed to stop at a stop sign. The impact caused both vehicles to leave the roadway and come to a rest in a nearby field. There was significant damage to both vehicles and loss of consciousness by our client, who was subsequently transported to the ER. The collision caused multiple abrasions, bruising, injury to her ear, dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo, neck, back, temporary short-term memory loss, and nausea. Due to her injuries, she underwent multiple months of physical therapy. The other driver admitted to and accepted fault for the collision. The claim was resolved for $80,000. Individual results may vary based on the facts, injuries, jurisdiction, venue, witnesses, parties, and other factors.

$75,000 Settlement For Passenger in a High-Speed Accident

Our client was a passenger that was hit, at a high rate of speed, on a local highway. The defendant, who happened to be a plaintiff attorney, denied a sobriety test at the scene and her OVI was later dismissed. Liability was admitted for the accident, however, and while punitive damages were going to be bifurcated per the judge’s order, we nevertheless had the claim pending. Our client sustained neck and back injuries, including a herniated disc for which she underwent a discectomy. A primary issue in the case was her pre-existing DJD and the fact that the surgery occurred three years after the accident. The defendant IME report only attributed emergency room treatment and a few weeks of treatment thereafter as being related to the accident. A few weeks prior to trial, we mediated the case and it settled for $75,000. Individual results may vary based on the facts, injuries, jurisdiction, venue, witnesses, parties, and other factors.

$400,000 Settlement For Elderly Woman Injured In Stop Sign Accident

Our client suffered a fractured knee and closed head injury when another driver pulled from a stop sign into our client’s path, causing a significant collision. Our client, who was in her 80’s at the time of the crash, had been previously living independently and caring for herself. However, as a result of her injuries, she was confined to a nursing home for an extended period of time. Subsequently, her physical and mental health rapidly declined. KNR filed a lawsuit to recover insurance proceeds from the at-fault driver. After depositions, court filings, and a mediation, the case was resolved for $400,000–providing payment of her medical bills and future care, in addition to pain and suffering from her injuries. Individual results may vary based on the facts, injuries, jurisdiction, venue, witnesses, parties, and other factors.
