A Rear-End Crash Left Daniel With Spinal Injuries
Daniel, a self-employed plumber from Ama, Louisiana, was injured in a rear-end collision at Destrehan Avenue and Keith Way Drive in Jefferson Parish.
By the next day, he began feeling pain in his neck and upper back. An MRI later showed a bulging disc at C3-C4, along with soft tissue injuries to his cervical and thoracic spine.
His Injuries Put His Livelihood at Risk
As a plumber, Daniel’s work depends on lifting, bending, and physical strength. His pain forced him to miss work, which meant lost income and added pressure on his business.
Because he was a former client, Daniel knew he did not want to face the insurance company alone.
The Insurance Offer Did Not Reflect His Losses
The insurance company made an offer, but it failed to account for Daniel’s spinal injury, missed work, and the strain on his ability to earn a living.
We gathered his medical records, MRI findings, and proof of how the crash affected his work. We also made clear we were prepared to move forward if needed.
Full Policy Limits Before Filing Suit
Before a lawsuit was filed, the insurance company agreed to pay full policy limits. The final settlement was 2.2 times higher than their last offer.
Daniel’s case shows how quickly a crash can affect your health, income, and peace of mind. With the right legal support, you do not have to accept less than your case deserves.
