Our client, a passenger in a vehicle, was broadsided by the defendant and endured a traumatic incident resulting in severe fractures, surgeries, and complications.
Months of hospitalization during the pandemic, without family visits, added to her challenges. Formerly independent and social, our client’s injuries drastically impacted her lifestyle. The orthopedic surgeon deemed the tibia and fibula injuries permanent, supported by a comprehensive life care plan. Despite the defense undervaluing the case initially, a doubled offer followed an in-house focus group and a compelling "day in the life" video. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive legal strategies and understanding how serious trauma affects the lives of our older clients.
