$300,000 Policy Limits Settlement for Disputed Liability Severe Injury Car Accident
Our client was a retired lady driving from Indiana to her home in upstate New York. She entered the Ohio Turnpike from Indiana and shortly thereafter her car was rear-ended, rolled over, and struck a ditch. Our client was ejected from the vehicle and was hospitalized with a fractured back, and right leg, and ended up on kidney dialysis because of medication she was given in the hospital.
There were a few problems in the case:
1) She had no memory of anything.
2) She was not wearing a seatbelt.
3) The other driver said she came out of nowhere and had no lights on when it was pitch dark at the time of the accident.
Here is how we added value:
1) We found a witness to provide an affidavit of how the accident happened.
2) We ordered video footage of our client entering the Ohio Turnpike 5 minutes before the accident that clearly showed her lights were on and in good working order.
3) We substantially negotiated and reduced all of her health insurance and NY PIP liens so she was able to receive a substantial recovery.
