Illegal Turn by Ride-Share Driver on Clearview Parkway Leaves Young Couple Seriously Injured
A routine Friday afternoon drive through Elmwood changed everything for a young Westbank couple in their 20s. During drive time, a ride-share driver made an illegal turn across Clearview Parkway, cut into oncoming traffic, and crashed into their vehicle.
The impact was severe, and both clients were left facing painful injuries, medical treatment, and uncertainty about their future.
Their Injuries Required Serious Medical Care
One client, a behavioral therapist who worked with autistic children, needed knee surgery and suffered major spinal trauma. His treatment included multiple epidural steroid injections and radiofrequency ablations. His doctors also made clear he would need more procedures in the future.
His partner, a local government clerk, suffered neck and back injuries requiring a similar course of care, with ongoing treatment expected.
The Crash Put Their Lives on Hold
Before the crash, both clients were working, building their lives, and serving their community in meaningful ways. Afterward, their days became filled with pain, medical appointments, and the stress of dealing with a large ride-share company.
Even with clear fault, the company did not resolve the case quickly or fairly.
We Filed Suit and Fought for the Full Policy
To push the case forward, our Rideshare accident lawyers filed suit, handled written discovery, took multiple depositions, and filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. After legal pressure, the ride-share company agreed to pay the full $1 million policy.
$1 Million Policy Secured
This case shows how insurance companies can delay even when fault is clear and the injuries are serious. It also shows how the right legal support from our Elmwood car accident lawyers can help injury victims feel heard, protected, and taken seriously when so much is at stake.
