Our client in this case came to us close to the statute of limitations date. He had been in a severe car accident caused by a driver running a red light and crashing into the front driver’s side of our client’s vehicle.
The force of the impact was so strong that it pinned our client’s legs between the steering column and the driver’s side door of his vehicle. His door could not be opened, and emergency responders had to use the “jaws of life” to free him from the wreck before he could be transported to the ER via ambulance.
As a result of the crash, our client suffered many injuries, including a tear in the meniscus in his left knee that required surgery.
The driver who caused the wreck only had $50,000 in liability insurance. Fortunately, our client had uninsured motorist coverage. After settling with the driver’s liability insurer, personal injury attorney Darl Champion proceeded to work up the case for trial and took the deposition of our client’s treating surgeon.
After that deposition, the uninsured motorist carrier agreed to pay $375,000 to settle the case, bringing the total settlement for our client to $425,000.
