$500,000 – Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery (2024)
The Client was rear-ended at great speed and pushed into the back of the vehicle in front of him. The Client failed physical therapy, chiropractic care and several rounds of pain management injections. Ultimately, he underwent a two-level cervical disc replacement surgery. He also had lower back injuries that required pain management. He was recommended for a laminectomy for the lumbar spine, but he opted not to have the procedure although it remained a future necessary intervention. The third party insurer was unnecessarily hostile to the claim which was aggressively defended. After litigation and mediation, the case was ultimately settled for $500,000.00.
$300,000 – Traumatic Brain Injury – Wellington, Florida (2024)
In under 6 months, we resolved this roll over car crash involving a traumatic brain injury (TBI) among other injuries in Wellington, Palm Beach County, Florida. There was no dispute as to fault or that the other driver ran a stop sign at great speed t-boning our client causing her vehicle to roll over. As for damages, the Client hit her head and face on the interior of the vehicle resulting in bruising and immediate pain. She went to the Emergency Room at Wellington Regional. After the hospital, she developed TMJ (temporomandibular joint), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and other symptoms that impacted her vision, balance and memory. She was diagnosed with a TBI. She also was diagnosed cervical disc injuries and had multiple rounds of trigger point injections. Even though treatment was ongoing, GEICO, the at fault insurer, tendered its bodily injury limits of $100,000.00. The host vehicle’s insurer then tendered its $100,000.00 underinsured motorist (UIM) benefits. Finally, the Client’s own automobile insurer, State Farm, tendered its $100,000.00 UIM benefits for a total settlement of $300,000.00.

This case involved a 34-year-old Client whose car was rear-ended in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida. The Client primarily had post-accident lower back pain with radicular symptoms.
