A distracted driver ran a red light and collided with our client's vehicle at high speed, causing catastrophic spinal injuries that required emergency surgery and extensive rehabilitation. After months of negotiations and thorough case preparation, Lion Law secured a $2.5 million settlement covering medical expenses, lost income, future care costs, and compensation for pain and suffering.
Our team immediately preserved critical evidence, including traffic camera footage, cell phone records showing the at-fault driver was texting, and witness statements. We partnered with accident reconstruction experts who demonstrated that the defendant's negligence directly caused the collision and our client's life-altering injuries.
Comprehensive Medical Documentation
Working closely with orthopedic specialists, pain management physicians, and physical therapists, we documented the full extent of our client's spinal cord damage. The injury resulted in permanent limitations affecting mobility, employment capacity, and quality of life. Medical experts testified that ongoing treatment and adaptive equipment would be necessary for the remainder of our client's life.
We calculated future medical costs using actuarial analysis and consulted with vocational rehabilitation specialists to demonstrate the impact on earning capacity. This comprehensive approach ensured the settlement reflected not just current losses, but the long-term financial burden our client would face.
Strategic Settlement Negotiations
The insurance company initially offered a fraction of the case's true value, claiming our client bore partial responsibility. We rejected this tactic and presented overwhelming evidence of the defendant's negligence, including cell phone records, surveillance footage, and expert testimony. Our thorough preparation made it clear we were ready for trial if necessary.
As the evidence mounted, the insurance company recognized the strength of our case and the likelihood of a substantial jury verdict. Through strategic negotiations, we secured the $2.5 million settlement without the need for trial, allowing our client to receive compensation sooner and begin moving forward with life.
