In this case, our client was a passenger in a vehicle whose driver was weaving in and out of traffic at a high speed. As a result of the driver’s reckless maneuvering, the vehicle struck the back of a Mack truck. The crash was so violent that the vehicle our client was in caught fire immediately.
Witnesses on the scene of the collision had to pull our client and the vehicle’s driver from the burning car due to both of them being unconscious.
The driver was found at fault for the wreck and was cited with failure to maintain his lane, reckless driving, and following too closely.
Our client, who is Brazilian and was living in the Atlanta area at the time, found out about The Champion Firm through the local Brazilian community. Our client knew that our Marketing Manager is also Brazilian and felt confident that The Champion Firm could better explain the U.S. injury legal process in her native Brazilian Portuguese.
Our client hired personal injury attorney Lisa Bero to take her case. Lisa filed a demand letter with the reckless driver’s insurance company, noting the significant injuries and medical expenses our client faced as a result of his negligence.
Among other injuries, our client suffered a large, traumatic hernia, abrasions to her chest, a fractured back, and a severe abdomen injury that required surgery and a months long hospital stay.
Lisa successfully proved the driver’s liability for our client’s injuries, and recovered $100,000 from his insurance company.
