Our client in this case was a woman making a left turn at an intersection. As she was turning, another driver ran a red light on their side of the intersection and violently crashed into our client’s vehicle. The severe impact of the crash deployed our client’s airbags and left her with debilitating injuries.
Immediately following the crash, our client went to Cartersville Medical Center to receive emergency medical treatment. She presented with neck and lower back pain and was sent for CT scans.
In the time period following the crash, our client continued to seek medical treatment for ongoing neck and back pain, hip pain, and an injury to her right ear caused by the airbag hitting her hearing aid. Our client’s treatment primarily consisted of physical therapy.
Our client was elderly and had pre-existing problems in her neck and back, which were both further injured in this case. Through carefully reviewing her prior medical records, comparing them to the records after the wreck, and speaking to our client’s doctors, personal injury attorney Darl Champion and The Champion Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. team were able to establish that our client’s pre-existing conditions were aggravated by this wreck.
The at-fault driver had the state minimum insurance limits of $25,000 per person. That insurance company paid, and our client proceeded against her uninsured motorist coverage. The uninsured motorist insurer’s initial offer was $35,000. After filing a lawsuit and proceeding through discovery, The Champion Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. was able to obtain $125,000 for our client from her uninsured motorist insurer.
In total, we were able to recover $150,000 for our client’s injuries.
