Hit and Run Leads to Total Loss – $65,000

Published: 10/10/2023

Our personal injury law firm recently represented a client in a significant case involving a traffic collision cause by a DUI Driver. Our Client was driving through an intersection on a green light when the defendant driver ran a red light at high speed and crashed into our client’s vehicle. The defendant driver fled the scene and was later apprehended and charged with felony DUI and hit and run.

Although our client’s vehicle was destroyed by the impact of the collision and she was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, she luckily only suffered minor physical injuries consisting of neck and back strain and bruising. After a short course of chiropractic treatment our client fully physically recovered. However, the trauma of the collision caused an onset of emotional and psychological symptoms that our client continues to deal with to date. After submitting demands to the defendant and client’s insurance companies, we secured a combined settlement of $65,000 for our client. Our client was extremely happy with both the speed of her settlement and the amount of money she received for her car accident injury claim.
