Settlement: $1.6 Million
While our client was driving on Patterson Avenue in Henrico, a driver cut in front of her, forcing her to brake suddenly. She was hit from behind and then a moment later she felt a second harder impact. The vehicle behind her hit her and the vehicle behind that one hit the second vehicle into her again. The chain-reaction impacts left her with a concussion and lower back pain that radiated to her legs. To seek relief from her pain, she endured two years of physical therapy and two low back surgeries; one of which was a 2-day surgery. Attorney Robert C. T. Reed’s advocacy resulted in a settlement for our client of over $1.6 million.
Because multiple vehicles were involved who denied responsibility and a driver who fled the scene, establishing that both rear-ending drivers and the unknown driver were at fault required extensive investigation, witness testimony, and advocacy; a challenge Allen & Allen’s legal team did not shy away from. Rather than letting the insurance companies point fingers at each other, Attorney Reed pursued the case until every responsible party was held accountable.
Dealing with disputed liability, multiple insurance adjusters, layers of insurance policies, and complex injuries requires an experienced legal team. We’re grateful our client trusted Allen & Allen to guide her through this difficult chapter and secure the resources she deserves for all she endured and all she will likely continue to suffer in the future through no fault of her own.
