Total Loss Collision Injures Neck & Back – $60,000

Published: 07/20/2024

Our client was injured as a result of a total loss collision in Corona, California. She was driving a Toyota Corolla sedan and hit as a result of the at fault driver turning in front of her at the last minute. As a result of the accident, our client sustained injury to her neck, back, shoulder, and experienced headaches as a result of hitting his head on the headrest.

She was inconsistent with her treatment but did see a chiropractor, pain management, and MRIs. She had one cervical epidural steroid injection despite other recommendations. Our client was very inconsistent and missed ten appointments. Her total meds were $36,405.27.

The first offer was $34,708.00, and the adjuster did not want to account for any of the future recommendations. We were able to push the adjuster to consider some of the future recommendations and we told her that if case went to litigation the client would likely get the treatment and maybe even get an radiofrequency ablation recommendation if she did not get better after that. We ultimately settled the case for $60,000, almost doubling the offer.

The client was very happy with the result and her pain is almost all gone.
