Case Description:

The client was a 72-year-old former sheriff’s deputy who was rear-ended by a heavy-duty work truck in 2021. As a result, the client suffered aggravation to a degenerative neck problem, which the client didn’t have any pain or symptoms of until after the accident occurred.

Legal Strategy:

Our main goal was completing the discovery process and pushing for a maximum settlement during the COVID shutdown.

Challenges:

The main challenge was getting the case to trial during the COVID shutdown. The defendant also denied liability, and their insurance company refused to negotiate for a fair settlement amount, so our attorneys had to file suit.

Resolution:

Mediated settlement $1.6m.
