3-Vehicle Pile up

Published: 10/20/2020

This client was caught in the middle of a 3-vehicle-pile-up on the eastbound 605 FWY in Ontario, CA. The double-impact caused expensive damages to our client’s vehicle – rendering it a total loss – and our client sustained deep, visible contusions to their upper/mid-back. Our client initially required urgent care and ultimately underwent chiro, pain management, cervical and lumbar MRIs, a lumbar facet block injection, and a cervical facet block injection.

In the Demand and negotiation stages, we harped on the fact that our client is legally entitled to future treatment incurred with reasonable certainty: in this case, additional lumbar facet block injections.

Aside from specific medical needs, another driving factor here was our client’s negatively affected family life. Our client was most disappointed that their injuries prevented them from carrying their toddler daughter or chasing after their 8 year old.

Our client was able to pay their expenses and walk away with $41,666.66 from this settlement.
