Case Details
Our client, a 61-year-old woman, was violently struck by a van that ran a stop sign while she was legally crossing at a designated crosswalk. The impact propelled her into the air, causing her to land hard on the asphalt, leaving her unconscious, pulseless, and in critical condition. The driver fled the scene, abandoning her with life-threatening injuries. Paramedics resuscitated her with CPR, and she was rushed to UC San Diego Health under Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLA) protocol. She suffered severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple fractures, including broken femurs, deep lacerations, and nerve damage. She underwent three emergency surgeries, spent over two months in a skilled nursing facility, and continues to suffer from chronic pain, cognitive impairments, PTSD, and permanent mobility restrictions requiring a cane or walker. Initially, the insurance company attempted to distance themselves from the driver of the car by say the driver was not working for the company. After some litigation, we were able to prove the driver was indeed working for the company at the time of the accident and they ended up handing over the full amount of their policy limits of $4,000,000
