Struck By Vehicles Colliding in Intersection – $104,000

Published: 08/09/2024

Our clients, two sisters, were stopped at a stop sign when the at fault driver and a 3rd vehicle crashed in the intersection ahead of them, causing the third vehicle to swerve and crash into the our client’s vehicle. One sister suffered injuries to her neck and lower back – eventually requiring a lumbar epidural injection, while the other sister suffered injuries to her neck, middle and lower back – eventually requiring a cervical epidural injection.

After treatment ended for both, we submitted a policy limit demand to the at fault carrier. However, the at fault carrier refused to make any type of offer for months. The at fault carrier wanted both clients to submit to Independent Medical Exams and wanted prior medical history and a recorded statement. It seemed like we were going to have to file suit to get the case moving forward. Finally – four months after submitting the demand – we were able to get the adjuster to make an offer for each of them. After a couple more months of negotiations, we succeeded in settling each of their claims for $52,000. This was a win for both clients, and both were happy that we were able to get them a good offer and avoid litigation.
