Not long ago, an Akron driver was suddenly struck by another vehicle while going through an intersection. Tragically, a minor passenger in the victim’s car suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the accident and required several weeks of hospitalization and multiple reconstructive surgeries. This understandably put a considerable financial burden on the child’s family and they reached out to the knowledgeable personal injury lawyers at KNR.
In an effort to compensate their client for the staggering medical expenses they incurred after this accident, attorneys at KNR set to work and began negotiating with the driver’s liability carrier. After bringing their considerable experience with traumatic brain injury cases and the total resources of KNR to bear, a settlement was reached for the policy limit of $100,000. Furthermore, KNR worked diligently on the client’s behalf to obtain a waiver of the health insurer’s lien to maximize the client’s structured settlement, which was subsequently approved in Summit County Probate Court. This result pleased the victim’s family since it would allow them to sufficiently plan for their child’s long-term treatment without unnecessary financial stress.
