Our Verdicts and Settlements
Summary:
Jessica was rear-ended at a stoplight by a driver who was texting. She suffered whiplash and a herniated disc in her lower back, which made it difficult to work and care for her family. With the help of her car accident lawyer, she achieved a $125,000 settlement to pay her medical bills and compensate her for her injuries.
Details:
One rainy evening, Jessica's car was hit from behind while stopped at a red light. The driver admitted to police that she had been texting and did not see that traffic had stopped. Jessica experienced neck and back pain in the following days. X-rays revealed whiplash and a herniated disc. Treatment included physical therapy and medications.
As a single mother, Jessica struggled with the financial and emotional impacts of her injuries. Her lawyer filed a claim with the at-fault driver's insurance. After negotiations, they agreed to a $125,000 settlement. This covered Jessica's medical bills, lost wages from missed work, and compensation for her pain and suffering. The money allowed her to focus on recovering without financial stress.
Two years later, although she still feels occasional back pain, Jessica has made a nearly full recovery thanks to her treatment and legal support. The settlement ensured her injuries did not create a long-term financial burden.
