$128,000 SETTLEMENT – THREE CAR ACCIDENT LEADS TO SPINAL SURGERY
Traveling eastbound on County Road 212, our client had a vehicle in front of him and a vehicle behind him. The vehicle behind him failed to keep a safe distance between their car and our client’s car. The car behind our client struck the rear end of our client’s car, causing our client to strike the rear end of the car in front of him. Our client presented to Wood County Hospital with complaints of a mild headache, left-side chest wall pain, and left-sided neck pain with radiation down the left arm. Imaging was performed at this visit, and it was determined that he suffered from a closed head injury and cervical muscle strain. Our client went through months of therapy, spinal surgery, and extensive rehabilitation. He missed a substantial amount of work due to treatment and is still feeling the effects.
Our client came to our firm soon after his accident for legal help. Due to the liable driver not having insurance, Charles Boyk and his team worked with our client’s insurance company to use his uninsured motorist coverage. After filing his case into litigation, our team was able to negotiate with the insurance company to get a settlement offer. Our client accepted an offer of $100,000.
