These were two recent hard-fought settlements.
The first case involved a passenger in a Tesla who was injured when the driver drove straight into a wall, causing the passenger to suffer a tibial plateau fracture. We represented the passenger and had to overcome the defense argument that the passenger was not wearing her seatbelt and her injury would not have happened if she was.
The second case involved a driver involved in a sideswipe accident with minimal visible property damage and prior back injuries who underwent epidural injections and a microdiscectomy. We had to overcome a tough causation argument with regard to the client’s injuries and treatment. We also had to prove he was acting within the course and scope of his employment to unlock the full underinsured motorist coverage afforded by his employer.
