$225,000 POLICY LIMITS SETTLEMENT – College Student Suffers Fractured Hip and Dislocated Leg After Driver Runs Red Light
Our client was making a left-hand turn onto Dorr Street when another driver blew through a red light, causing a head-on collision between the two vehicles. Our client suffered life altering injuries as a result of the accident. Some of these injuries included a fractured hip and a dislocated leg. He underwent a six-hour surgery that required hardware, and he was hospitalized for two weeks following the incident. The client required constant care, and he had to learn to walk again. Even after extensive inpatient rehabilitation treatment, physical therapy, and pain management sessions, our client is still experiencing the devasting effects of his injuries.
This accident changed our client’s life, so when he contacted our office for assistance, we knew getting him the compensation he deserved was a top priority. We filed a lawsuit against both the at-fault party and our client’s insurance company under his underinsured policy. The at-fault party only carried state minimum coverage, so we were forced to pursue the limits on the underinsured coverage. A few months before trial, our office was able to acquire the policy limits for our client.
