Case Details

A negligent driver rear-ends our client, causing a multiple-vehicle crash on I-95. Unfortunately, this was not our client’s first crash. Our firm was fortunate enough to represent him in two prior crashes over the last decade. At the time of this crash, our client was still under the care of doctors for his pre-existing injuries. This fact made identifying new injuries and/or aggravations to his pre-existing injuries more complicated. We believe that if you received treatment for pre-existing conditions, it is best to return to the same doctors following a new crash, as your prior doctors will be in the best position to evaluate what injuries are “new” and which injuries are “old” or “pre-existing.” Our approach in this case was simple - do not try to mislead, understate, or hide your prior injuries from the insurance companies. As a result, we were confident about what injuries were new vs. what injuries were old/pre-existing. The new injuries alone warranted a large settlement. This strategy took all the wind out of the defense attorney’s sails at mediation. By swiftboating these expected defenses, it led to a great result for our client.
