$125,000 Settlement For T-Bone Collision in Fannin County, Georgia
In this case, our client was involved in a car wreck in which the at-fault driver ran a red light, violently hitting our client’s vehicle and causing it to roll multiple times before coming to a stop on its roof.
The wreck happened on GA 2 at its intersection with GA 60 in Fannin County, Georgia. The other driver had been speeding, driving recklessly, and appeared to be distracted when she turned left on a red light and hit our client, who had the right of way and was proceeding safely through the intersection.
Our client suffered severe shoulder and neck pain due to the impact of the crash. Overnight, her pain grew much worse, and she sought treatment at Fannin Regional Hospital the following day. She was prescribed medication for pain in her extremities, shoulder, and neck, as well as for lateral chest wall pain that worsened when she tried to take a deep breath. Medical imaging also showed a potential scapular fracture, for which our client was instructed to see a specialist.
Our client received follow-up treatment when she returned to her home state of Texas. After months of medical treatment, she still had lingering pain from the wreck. Her total medical bills were approximately $41,000.
The insurance company’s highest offer before the case was referred to The Champion Firm was $42,000, which barely covered the medical bills. The client’s first lawyers referred the case to The Champion Firm to file a lawsuit. Darl Champion and Andrienne McKay worked on the case together. After filing a lawsuit and taking depositions in the case, the insurance company agreed to settle the lawsuit for $125,000.
