Waiting to Turn into Dollar General Results in Collision and $226,706 Settlement
Our client is recovering from life-threatening injuries after a violent collision at a Dollar General parking lot entrance. Our client had his turn signal activated and was turning into the store when a reckless driver, reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed, slammed into the side of his vehicle.
The impact was so severe that firefighters were forced to pry the driver’s door open to extricate him from the totaled car. He was rushed to the emergency room in critical condition, where he was treated for collapsed lungs and a complete fracture of all ribs on his left side.
His recovery has been difficult, requiring a chest tube and a feeding tube for six days, during which he was sustained on a liquid diet. The victim, who works as a photographer, now faces a long rehabilitation and significant loss of wages.
Attorney Andrea Young and her talented team gathered security footage and witness reports to help determine the defendant’s liability. They helped their client recover costs for medical expenses and property damage.
