$480,000

Additional Notes

Although the truck itself sustained no visible damage (the hitch absorbed the impact), the force of the collision caused significant neck injuries requiring surgery. Prior to the crash, the defense argued our client’s medical history-over 200 chiropractic visits-proved his complaints were preexisting. They further claimed that a low-speed impact could not have caused such injuries. To support their position, the defense retained multiple experts, including an accident reconstructionist, a neurosurgeon, a radiologist, and a billing specialist. Despite these challenges, our firm litigated the case for nearly two years, pushing back against the defense’s narrative. On the eve of trial, we secured a settlement of $480,000-more than three times the initial offer.
