Scooter v. Auto

Published: 04/27/2022

Our client was riding a scooter southbound at or near the intersection in Corona, California. At that same time, the defendant was at a t-intersection stop sign facing westbound. The defendant failed to keep a proper lookout and realize our client was crossing. As a result, the defendant collided with our client, which caused our client multiple injuries. Her treatment included numerous sessions with a chiropractor with pain in her neck, low back, left shoulder, and right wrist. She was also treated by a pain management doctor, where she complained of neck pain that radiated down into her shoulders and also radiated pain to her low back. Her cervical and lumbar spine MRI resulted in the loss of intervertebral disc height and disc protrusions.

She underwent a lumbar facet block for pain relief and recommended future pain management. In response to our demand, the carrier initially offered $24,750.00, below the medical specials. The insurance company increased its offer to $29,000.00 and stood firm at $30,000.00. We filed a lawsuit against the defendants and secured a $50,000 settlement within months.
