Combined $255,000 Settlement for Clients in a Terrifying I-80 Accident in Perrysburg
A truck slammed into the back of our client’s car as they were lawfully traveling on the I-80. The EMS quickly responded to the scene and had to detach the driver’s side door to remove our client and transport him to the ER. Serious trauma was suffered by our client. He suffered a traumatic brain injury primarily involving a bleeding contusion in the left temporal lobe, an area critical for language and memory. The injury caused a range of cognitive-communication deficits, including problems with word-finding, reasoning, and recall. He was treated by speech pathology to rehabilitate these specific language and thinking skills.
Furthermore, our other client, who was also in the vehicle at the time, suffered severe fractures to her hand. Our client’s independence and daily living were severely burdened.
Our team at Charles E. Boyk Law Offices immediately conducted a thorough investigation, gathered all medical evidence, and documented the profound impact on both clients’ lives. We presented a compelling demand to the at-fault party’s insurance carrier, detailing the significant medical costs, ongoing rehabilitation needs, lost independence, and the future care required for the traumatic brain injury and complex hand fractures.
Recognizing the seriousness of the injuries, the insurance company agreed to a significant pre-litigation settlement. This resolution spared our clients the prolonged stress of a court trial while successfully recovering the compensation needed to cover their medical bills, property damage, and the immense personal challenges they faced. At Charles E. Boyk, we are committed to leveraging our experience to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients, allowing them to focus fully on their recovery.
