This case arose from a car crash that occurred between our client and a Deputy Sheriff, who drove through a red light without his emergency lights activated. Our client, who had the green light at the intersection, suffered major injuries as a result of the collision.
The Deputy Sheriff was driving his patrol vehicle in pursuit of another driver who had run a traffic signal. He ran a red light at an intersection without activating his emergency lights and struck our client’s vehicle.
As a result of the collision, our client suffered serious injuries and incurred medical bills over $193,800.00. She will continue to need ongoing treatment to manage her injuries, which includes an additional surgery. Due to the severity of her injuries, our client was unable to work for over a year and a half and had a substantial lost wages claim, as well.
The Champion Firm personal injury attorney Lisa Bero took on this case for our client, proving the deputy’s negligence in failing to activate his emergency lights. Since the County was being unresponsive to our requests, Lisa filed suit against the Forsyth County Sheriff, who is the proper Defendant in any case involving one of his deputy officers.
Ultimately, the County and attorney Bero were able to come to a settlement agreement for our client. This resulted in a total settlement amount of $400,000 for our client.
