It is an unfortunate reality that traffic accidents can happen to anyone. On a day like any other, a car was traveling south along I-77 near Akron, OH, when it was suddenly struck by another vehicle, causing a highway accident. The impact of this collision was so powerful, the vehicle along with its occupants spiraled across the road until the car finally smashed into the center median wall. A female passenger in the victim’s car sustained injuries, including various sprains and strains from the numerous impacts, but also a very severe injury to her right shoulder. The woman sought treatment immediately but needed surgery to repair a partial tear in her rotator cuff. After the initial surgery, the woman needed to undergo intensive physical therapy; however, due to incessant problems with her shoulder, it was necessary to perform a follow-up manipulation procedure, while under anesthesia. Since these various treatments and procedures resulted in very steep medical bills, which she could not afford the woman contacted the veteran personal injury attorneys at KNR to review her available options.
After an initial consultation to discuss her situation, the attorneys with KNR began working to alleviate the client’s concerns, so she could recuperate from this accident properly. With this goal in mind, KNR used their comprehensive expertise dealing with similar accident cases to negotiate and ultimately achieved a $105,000 settlement.
