$2,750,000 Settlement in Disability of Buffalo Nurse in Severe Head-on Collision, Multiple Surgeries, and Rehabilitation.
Case Overview
In March 2023, Jane Doe, a 36-year-old nurse from Buffalo, NY, was heading home after her shift when a dump truck crossed the intersection and struck her vehicle head-on. The consequences were severe injury, a fractured wrist on the right, and more than three spinal fractures, which led to the necessity of immediate surgery and two spinal fusions. Jane had a few months of hospitalization, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. In addition to the physical trauma, she had undergone great emotional distress and financial burden because she was not able to work. The insurance that was offered by the trucking company was low at first since it did not accurately represent the seriousness of her injuries, as well as the long-term effects. By contacting Legal Assist Law Group, Jane needed an advocate who would be able to combat complex cases involving personal injuries, bring the medical professionals on board, and seek damages. There was a lot to lose: Jane had to make sure she would be able to afford the continued treatment, the wages she lost, and a quality life in case of the loss of long-term care and responsibility of the negligent party. Our company took up the challenge, and we designed a plan of action to achieve the maximum recovery of Jane and safeguard her future well-being.
Our Approach
- Conducted a serious investigation of the accident, including traffic photo analysis and an interview with other witnesses.
- Hired professional medical and orthopedic specialists to determine the extent and long-term effects of injuries.
- Lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering have been documented in order to file accurate claims.
- Got into negotiations with the insurance company, proving the liability and damages.
- Written and ready to be litigated before the court, to provide bargaining power to a just settlement..
Result:
The settlement of 2,750,000 dollars gave Jane Doe sufficient funds to pay off her long-term medical procedures, such as wrist surgery, spinal fusions, and months of physical therapy. The case also included lost wages, so the stress of finances did not have to be an added burden, and she could concentrate on recovery. Besides financial relief, the case recognized her pain and suffering as well as the emotional trauma occasioned by the accident and its lifelong lifestyle effects as a result of spinal injuries.
The approach we used, which involved negotiating along with expert testimony persuasion, made the trucking company agree to settle without dragging the case to court. Jane was in a position to raise finances for continued rehabilitation and possibly future surgeries on her injuries. The resolution saved her the right to seek any further medical requirements without the financial limitation.
The case also supported the need to have competent personal injury advocacy within the state of Buffalo, NY, where complicated accidents can have a significant medical, emotional, and financial impact. Jane said that she was grateful for the commitment of the firm because she was informed that Legal Assist Law Group not only gave her legal advice but also showed sympathy and understanding in the difficult process so that she could regain her life with assurance.
