Some days, you’re just driving to work, thinking about your patients, your to-do list, and what’s ahead. But in an instant, everything can change.
Left Turn Crash on River Road in Luling
That’s exactly what happened to my client, a 47-year-old medical professional from Luling, Louisiana. She was driving down River Road, just like she had hundreds of times before, when a driver pulled out of his driveway, trying to make a left turn. He never saw her coming. The impact was unavoidable.
Neck Disc Herniations Caused by the Collision
At first, she hoped the pain in her neck and elbow would go away on its own. But as the days passed, it became clear this was more than just soreness. She sought chiropractic care, but when her symptoms didn’t fully improve, an MRI confirmed what she feared: herniations at C6-C7 and bulges at C5-C6. Neck pain like this makes everything in your life harder, especially when you work in the medical field, where patients depend on you.
Epidural Injections and Conservative Care
She did what she had to do and underwent epidural steroid injections to manage the pain and avoid more invasive treatment.
How We Secured a $100,000 Policy Limits Settlement
Her medical bills totaled about $13,000, but that wasn’t the real battle. The insurance company initially wanted to downplay her injuries, as they often do. We fought back, standing firm on the real impact this crash had on her life. In the end, we secured a policy limits settlement of $100,000 ensuring she was properly compensated for what she endured.
Too often, insurance companies try to minimize the pain and suffering of real people. But at LJB Legal, we don’t let them get away with it. If you’ve been injured in an accident, you deserve a legal team that will fight for the full compensation you’re owed.
