We are pleased to report a $95,000 settlement for a driver who hit her head on a steering wheel and sustained a head injury. Here are the details.
Our client was hit from behind which, unfortunately, caused her to hit her head on her steering wheel. Right after the accident, she was able to drive home. However, several hours after the accident she began to vomit and have headaches.
She wisely decided to go to the emergency room.
At the emergency room, she underwent a CT scan and other tests. The attending doctor noted that she sustained a concussion. Later medical tests confirmed it was a mild traumatic brain injury.
After reporting her claim, the car insurance company for the negligent driver refused to negotiate in good faith, making only minimal settlement offers. Because of this, we filed a lawsuit.
Shortly into the lawsuit, the insurance carrier changed its position and began to make real, meaningful settlement offers. Just a few months into the litigation, we settled for $95,000.
Our client was grateful for the recovery. The settlement helped pay for her medical bills and the pain and suffering she endured after the accident.
If you or a loved one hit your head on your steering wheel due to a car accident or sustained a head injury from a car accident, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you with your injury claim.
