In this case, our client was injured when a drunk driver failed to stop for a red light, crashing into the vehicle in front of her, which then crashed into our client’s car.
The intoxicated driver immediately attempted to flee the scene of the wreck, but due to the damage caused to her vehicle in the impact, she was unable to get away. When police arrived on scene, they conducted a field sobriety test and arrested the at-fault woman for driving under the influence of alcohol, as well as charged her with following too closely.
As a result of the force of the crash, our client suffered severe injuries to her neck and back, including multiple spinal disc hernias, sprains to multiple spine ligaments, and disc displacements. As our client was only 29 years old at the time of the crash, these injuries severely altered her daily life and caused her to incur medical bills of over $48,000.
Personal injury attorney Frank Gaddy took on this case for our client and filed a lawsuit against the drunk driver’s insurance. Prior to filing suit, the other driver’s insurance refused to accept that our client was injured and made a top settlement offer of only $45,000, less than her medical bills.
After filing suit, Frank and The Champion Firm team were able to recover a settlement of $250,000 for our client.
