Driver Intoxication Causes Double Collision, $150,000 Settlement

Settlement/Verdict: $150,000.00

Attorney: Jeffrey S. Sieben
Practice Area: Car Accident
Client Injury: Fractured Ankle

Our client was traveling on Highway 55 between Rosemount and Hastings; she was following a vehicle that her husband was riding in. The defendant driver was driving the opposite direction and crossed the center line and sideswiped the car ahead of our client then hit our client’s vehicle. The defendant driver was intoxicated and arrested at the scene for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Our client received a fractured ankle and was taken by ambulance to Regions Hospital when she underwent surgery.

Jeff Sieben settled the liability claim against the defendant’s insurer for the policy limits of $100,000 and he also obtained a Underinsured Motorist Settlement from our client’s insurer in the amount of $50,000.
