$165,000 SETTLEMENT REACHED FOR CLIENT WHO SUFFERED COMPRESSION FRACTURE IN CAR ACCIDENT We recently obtained a $165,000 settlement in a car accident case for our client. The client was driving in Scottsdale when another driver turned in front of her causing a high speed crash. The client was hospitalized overnight and diagnosed with a compression fracture of a thoracic vertebrae. Thankfully, she suffered no nerve damage or trauma to her spinal cord. She was later discharged with an instruction to rest and take pain medication as needed. A compression fracture of a vertebrae is usually treated without surgery. It is similar to a broken rib in that there really is no treatment except for allowing it to heal over time. The client did and made a full recovery within 4-6 months. We were then able to advance a claim for her pain and suffering and medical expenses. Despite having very little medical treatment and low medical expenses, we still were able to achieve a significant settlement. We did this by using our experience to create a compelling presentation of how the injury affected our client during the 4-6 months of her recovery. We obtained $100,000 from the at fault driver and another $65,000 from the client’s underinsured motorist policy. We paid off all the client’s medical expenses and she received a significant sum from the settlement.
