Case Results

Our client was a front passenger in her roommate’s vehicle when her roommate attempted to make a left turn to head eastbound. In doing so, the roommate failed to yield the right of way to a third party that was heading northbound, causing a head-on collision between the two vehicles. The local police department responded to the scene of the collision and cited our client’s roommate for her failure to yield when turning left. As a result of the collision, our client suffered numerous injuries, including post-concussion syndrome, cognitive dysfunction and other neuropsychological related injuries, which required continuous medical treatment for several years after the date of the accident.

Prior to the accident and from a young age, our client had envisioned a future filled with healing and compassion, dreaming of becoming a veterinarian. Unfortunately, because of the accident she now requires an alternate note-taking service and alternate book format due to her post concussive syndrome, headaches, blurred vision, double vision, difficulty concentrating, and slower processing. Our office hired an economist and vocational expert to prove her economic damages, stemming from her injuries that have drastically altered her ability to pursue the rigorous demands of veterinary school. After taking depositions and an unsuccessful mediation, Attorney Charles Boyk and his litigation team were ultimately able to secure a $200,000+ settlement for our client prior to the case proceeding to trial.

Our client was lawfully operating his vehicle when a truck driver disregarded a stop sign and crashed into him. The defendant was cited for failing to stop and for careless driving, and the force of the collision sent both vehicles into a nearby field.

As a result, our client sustained severe injuries, including a knee injury requiring surgical intervention and a lumbar disc herniation. These conditions have greatly diminished his stamina, mobility, and overall function. Once active and independent, he is now forced to sleep in a recliner due to pain, walks bent over, and can no longer walk the distances he once enjoyed. His posture has deteriorated under the constant strain on his spine, and both the knee and lumbar injuries have permanently impaired his ability to walk—an essential function of daily living.

Medical experts confirm that these impairments are permanent and will require substantial, ongoing care, including physical therapy, orthopedic visits, injections, pain management, and potentially a total knee replacement. His injuries, caused by the defendant’s negligence, meet the threshold under MCL 500.3101 et seq., reflecting the type of harm the Michigan legislature intended to hold drivers accountable for.

Although this was a Michigan accident, our client is pursuing benefits through the Ohio workers’ compensation system because he was acting within the scope of his employment when the crash occurred. At the time of the collision, he was driving as part of his job duties, which brings the matter under Ohio workers’ compensation law. He is currently fighting for workers’ compensation benefits in addition, the team at Boyk was able to secure policy limits for his personal injury recovery, ensuring that both systems address the lifelong impact of his injuries.

Our 74-year-old client was entering the Greater Midwest Urgent Care facility in Rossford, Ohio. There was an uneven edge at the base of the door, which caused our client to trip and fall. She was left lying on the floor, not given a wheelchair or anything else to help. Finally, one of the employees called an EMS and she was taken to ProMedica Hospital. She was diagnosed with a right hip fracture and required emergency surgery the very next day. She required physical therapy, occupational therapy, and was placed in a short-term inpatient rehabilitation center. Her doctor reported that she will continue to feel pain and some weakness in her hip permanently.
Andrea Young and her team worked hard to get our client what she deserves financially. The team filed the case with the court and ended up settling with the insurance company for $200,000.

Our client was sitting in the passenger seat of a car travelling eastbound on West Sylvania Avenue in Sylvania, Ohio, approaching the intersection with King Road. Another vehicle was traveling westbound on West Sylvania Avenue also approaching the intersection. The other vehicle began to make a left hand turn onto King Road and failed to yield to our client’s car. The vehicle struck our client’s car. Our client was taken to Flower Hospital by an EMS. Sylvania Police Department cited the other driver with failing to observe the right of way when turning left. After the accident, our client was evaluated and found to have a dislocated thumb, three fractured ribs, a cut on the head, and bruising on her knees, legs and feet. She required surgery on her thumb to repair a ligament, and later a thumb joint fusion.

Our client worked with Attorney Andrea Young and her team during her treatment. The case ultimately was filed into court, where the firm continued to work with the insurance company on settlement. Finally, our firm was able to negotiate an offer which our client accepted. The driver’s insurance company paid $180,000 to our client for damages.

Our client was driving westbound on country road 13 in Jackson Township, Ohio. She was following a tractor on the road. She began to legally pass the tractor, when suddenly the tractor began to turn.

The team went through the litigation process, but was able to negotiate with the insurance company to come to an agreement for a settlement offer. Our firm used multiple doctor reports, mediations, and depositions to get our client the compensation she deserved. Our client agreed to a $155,000 settlement with the insurance company.

Our client stopped at a stop sign then lawfully proceeded into the intersection. At the same time, another driver failed to yield the right of way before entering the intersection and traveled directly into our client’s path of travel. As a result, our client was unable to stop his vehicle and struck the other vehicle. Our client initially was diagnosed with contusions, muscle strains, and his right wrist was placed in a brace due to a possible sprain. After this, he had worsening symptoms requiring physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and continued treatment, including surgical intervention for pain in areas including his left shoulder, knees, hip, and back.

Our client reached out for assistance while he was undergoing treatment for his injuries. Our firm assisted him through treatment and helped negotiate a settlement offer prior to trial. Our client accepted a settlement offer of $150,000.00 to help compensate him for the harm and damage suffered.

Our client was stopped in traffic when the vehicle behind him failed to stop within an assured clear distance and collided with the rear of our client’s pickup truck, pushing the bed of the truck into the cab.

The forceful collision launched our clients vehicle into a utility pole and a tree. Our client’s vehicle was totaled. EMS responded quickly to the scene, transporting our client to a hospital for urgent care. Our client sustained severe and life-altering injuries including significant internal bleeding, tendon adhesion, and hypertension.

As a result of the collision, our client suffered significant personal injuries. She presented to the emergency department with severe neck pain, headaches, and stiffness that were aggravated by everyday activities such as bending, twisting, driving, and lifting.

Diagnostic imaging revealed cervical spine abnormalities, including disc osteophyte complexes at C3-4 and C4-5 with mild foraminal narrowing. She underwent medial branch nerve block procedures, physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and multiple injection therapies, achieving only moderate relief. Despite these efforts, she continues to experience chronic pain radiating into her shoulders, muscle spasms, and functional limitations. Her injuries prevent her from performing more than sedentary work duties.

Because of the persistence and severity of her symptoms, she requires ongoing pain management and interventional care, and she continues to endure lasting effects from the crash.

The team at Boyk, led by Attorney Andrea Young, tried the case and successfully secured a verdict for compensation for the costs of her treatment and additional damages.
