$660,000 Pain and Suffering Settlement

A husband and wife, whose vehicle was struck by tractor trailer while waiting to pay a toll, received a $660,000 pain and suffering settlement.  Both clients required spinal surgery. This settlement was achieved despite a major unexpected obstacle which arose when the victims’ own insurance company “became the enemy,” and refused to reimburse the surgeons; claiming the procedures were not medically necessary! In a subsequent arbitration, our firm was successful in overturning the denial and the victims’ insurance company was ordered to reimburse 100% of the surgery bills.
