Insurance Company Attempts to Settle Quickly with Unrepresented Client for $2,400. Paul Downes Settles the Case for $69,000.

Settlement/Verdict: $69,000.00

Attorney: Paul K. Downes
Practice Area: Car Accident
Client Injury: Neck, Back and Shoulder Injuries

A vehicle was traveling the same direction as our client in the lane to her left. That vehicle suddenly attempted to make a right turn right in front of our client, causing a collision and pushing our client’s vehicle into a third vehicle nearby. As a result of the double collision, our client received injuries to her neck and back and reinjured her shoulder which she had received treatment for prior to the crash. She ultimately underwent surgery for a tear in her shoulder. Her medical expenses exceeded $55,000.

The other driver's insurance company met with the plaintiff shortly after the crash and attempted to settle the case for $2,400, claiming that the shoulder injury pre-existed the accident. She then hired Paul Downes who ultimately settled the case for $69,000..
