$395,000 Personal Injury Claim, 45-Year-Old Driver Required Neck Surgery

Settlement of a personal injury claim for a 45-year-old client whose vehicle was struck from behind. After initial medical care did not resolve her pain, she underwent surgery to remove damaged disc material in her neck and fuse several vertebrae. The insurance company claimed the injuries predated what they referred to as a minor-impact crash, but after extensive negotiations, the case resolved with a settlement of $395,000.
