Case results reflect publicly available information reported by the listed law firms. They are not results obtained by ThatCarHitMe.com. Every case is unique and must be evaluated on its own facts. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The results shown are not necessarily representative of all results obtained by these firms. No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
Case Details
The victim was a woman who slipped and fell on ice at a convenience store. The woman suffered a fractured leg and broken ankle, which required two surgeries to repair.
Additional Notes
Again in this instance, the settlement was mostly compensation for pain and suffering. As you can see, pain and suffering is not limited to the initial trauma following an accident. Surgeries usually lead to a painful recovery period and are often difficult post-surgery physical therapy. Therefore, broken leg injuries or slip-and-fall cases that require surgery can drive settlement values upwards.
