Automobile Accident

A 60 year old female sustained compound fractures in the tibia and the fibula of both legs when the defendant failed to stop for the posted stop sign. The client was hospitalized for three weeks after undergoing emergency surgeries on both of her legs with plates and screws. She developed blood clots in her legs that dislodged and went into her lungs causing her to develop pulmonary embolisms. She was again hospitalized and eventually recovered from that complication. The client sustained permanent injuries, has chronic pain and was unable to return to work. This result allowed her to support herself for the rest of her life. This helped give the client back some of her self-dignity and self-respect that the collision caused her to lose.

Automobile Accident, Medical Malpractice

A municipal garbage truck failed to brake and struck the rear end of a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe at approximately 45 miles per hour. The impact caused a non-surgical herniated disc at C6/C7 wherein cervical facet injections were administered. The doctor punctured the spinal cord with the injection and caused permanent chronic cervical pain. This case involved two separate actions one in the Superior Court for the automobile accident and a separate Arbitration for the medical malpractice case. The automobile accident case settled for $1,000,000.00 and the medical practice case settled for $1,000,000.00.
