Traumatic Rear End

Published: 04/03/2024

Our client was rear-ended while driving on an exit ramp from Hwy 4 in Pittsburg, CA. The impact caused rear-end property damage and even led to the rear window shattering. Our client suffered several disc protrusions of the cervical spine and was diagnosed with cervicalgia. These injuries not only affected our client physically but also emotionally, as anxiety attacks became a constant companion, especially with vehicles driving behind him, a symptom not previously experienced. The injuries required an emergency visit, chiropractic treatment, and pain management. Our client’s life at home and work was affected and inconvenienced regarding job performance. The negligent insurance carrier offered amounts that were not commensurate with the case facts, with the initial offer being well below the client’s medical bills. After intense negotiations and compelling arguments raised surrounding the ethical and legal ramifications of the case handling, we were able to recover three times the initial offer.
