We Secured a $4 Million Settlement
In January, we shared our five core beliefs and our continued commitment to them in the new year. These beliefs have long been a part of our work practices, and for years have played into our success in giving clients the justice and peace of mind they deserve.
Today, we want to reflect on a case in which our commitment to these values paid dividends in securing a $4 million dollar settlement for a particular client.
Our client, CB, was driving a semi-truck westbound on I-80 when he saw the stalled vehicle. Unable to stop in time, he crashed into the other truck. The collision left CB with a fractured femur in each leg, a fractured left hip, a fractured left elbow, a lacerated liver, a fractured nose, a torn meniscus and a dislocated jaw. He spent a month in the hospital and required months of physical therapy after that.
- A functional capacity evaluation (FCE) to determine the effects of the injuries on his ability to work.
- An orthopedic specialist to determine the likelihood of future onset arthritis and the potential need of a hip replacement in the decades ahead.
- CT scans and X-rays of our client’s injuries converted into a 3D format, which allowed views of the fractures from all angles to show the extent of damage.
Our dedication to our clients shows how real our values are to us, and it’s incredibly satisfying that CB had the financial security to address any future medical issues related to the original crash.
