My client was a 59-year-old retired chemical manufacturing plant production technician.He was injured in a rear-end collision at a red-light.The impact caused him to jerk forward against his properly worn seat belt and resulted in a tear of his rotator cuff.
This disabling injury required surgical intervention and approximately six months of physical therapy.
My client was unable to work during this time period.
I was successful in negotiating with the at-fault party’s insurer for their policy limits of $15,000 as well as my client’s own underinsured motorist coverage for an additional $55,000, resulting in a total settlement of $70,000 without filing suit.
