Automobile Accident
In a case where our client had two back surgeries, we recovered a $4.9M settlement.
This case stems from a collision at the intersection of Von Karman Ave. & Michelson Dr. in Irvine, CA on October 11, 2017. The Defendant, employed by Sober Living by the Sea, Inc., ran a red light while distracted by his flip phone. He proceeded through the intersection, striking our client’s vehicle on the left side. Police found the Defendant at fault under CVC 21453(a), noting his admission and witness accounts.
The impact was severe, totaling both vehicles and causing our client significant injuries. He required extraction from his vehicle by the Orange County Fire Department and was subsequently treated for neck, back, and shoulder pain, as well as possible loss of consciousness at HOAG emergency department. Medical procedures included Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion and chondroplasty.
The case involved substantial medical expenses and damages. Our client was injured, and although he had pre-existing conditions that were triggered, making the case very challenging, our team persevered. We pushed the defense law firm and insurance company up to the eve of trial. Overwhelmed by our trial-setting tactics, they significantly increased their previous offers. Ultimately, the case was settled for far more than our client desired, resulting in a settlement of $4.9 million.
We're here to listen, guide, and support.
