Car Crushed Under Semi, $275,000 Settlement

Settlement/Verdict: $275,000.00

Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Car Accident
Client Injury: Back and Pelvic Injuries

Plaintiff was waiting to turn left at a T in the road in early fall of 2005. Without warning, a vehicle sped from behind him and crashed in to the rear of his car. The force of the impact knocked Plaintiff's car in to oncoming traffic where a semi truck was unfortunately driving by. Plaintiff's vehicle was shoved underneath the bed of the semi truck all the way up to the windshield. Police arrived on the scene.

Plaintiff sustained severe injuries to his low back and pelvic region. He suffered multiple non-displaced fractures in his pelvic region and ultimately had a back fusion at L3-L4-L5. He had six screws and two rods placed in his back after 18 months of conservative treatment with epidural and steroid injections. Cory Whalen successfully recovered $275,000 from the at-fault driver's liability insurer.
