$100,000 Personal Injury Settlement — Client Underwent Spine Surgery After Rear-End Collision | KNR

Settlement of a personal injury claim for a 25-year-old client who was rear-ended, resulting in moderate vehicle damage and serious spinal injuries, including an L4-5 disc herniation with severe spinal stenosis and cauda equina syndrome. The client required L4-5 surgery (hemilaminectomy and discectomy) and incurred $130,000 in medical bills and $10,000 in wage loss.

The at-fault driver’s policy limits were $100,000, and the client did not have underinsured motorist coverage, making this the maximum recovery possible.

Attorney Christina Bertolino negotiated with the insurance company to secure the full policy limits, ensuring the client received the $100,000 settlement to cover medical expenses and lost wages.

Individual results may vary based on the facts, injuries, jurisdiction, venue, witnesses, parties, and other factors.
