Rear-End Crash on Highway 90
Amelia, 54, was stopped in traffic on Highway 90 in Lafayette, Louisiana, when another driver crashed into the back of her vehicle.
After the crash, the driver asked her not to call the police. Then, before officers arrived, he left the scene.
Pain After the Crash
Soon after, Amelia developed neck pain and stiffness. She was diagnosed with soft tissue injuries and began chiropractic treatment.
These injuries do not always appear on imaging, but they can still affect sleep, driving, work, and everyday movement. Amelia kept going to treatment while worrying about her medical bills and what the insurance company would do next.
Why Filing Suit Mattered
The insurance company did not value Amelia’s claim fairly at first. We filed suit, secured a jury trial date, gathered her medical records, and built a clear timeline of her treatment.
Once the case was prepared for court, the insurance company raised its offer by 150% from its last pre-trial offer.
A Better Result Before Trial
Amelia’s case shows how quickly a rear-end crash can disrupt someone’s life, especially when the at-fault driver leaves the scene.
She called our Lafayette personal injury lawyers the same day after a former client referred her to us. By getting legal help early and pushing the case toward trial, Amelia was able to obtain a result more in line with what she went through.
