Minimal Damage in Parking Lot – $100,000

Our client was injured as a result of being hit head-on while she was exiting a parking lot in Rolling Hills Estates CA. The at-fault driver made a sharp left turn and collided directly into our client’s Tesla. Despite rather minimal property damage to her vehicle, the force of impact was still significant, causing our client to suffer from whiplash. As a result, our client sustained injuries to her neck, back, shoulders, and had to live with debilitating headaches, among other injuries.

Our client’s neck and back pain symptoms from the accident were objectively proven and shown by several MRI scans, which revealed lumbar and cervical spine disk extrusions. In order to address our client’s pain complaints, she treated with several specialists, including a neurologist, and an orthopedic surgeon. Our client’s treating orthopedic surgeon was able to provide her with several treatment remedies to greatly improve her pain.

She received several epidural steroid injections to her lumbar and cervical spine, which decreased her pain levels. Her orthopedic surgeon also recommended that she undergo a cervical spine surgery, should her pain symptoms not improve. We sent a settlement demand on behalf of our client to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. The at-fault driver’s insurance company offered their maximum policy limits of $100,000.00 to our client to settle her case, which she accepted.

Despite the minimum property damage to our client’s vehicle, we were able to help her receive the best treatment possible for her injuries sustained, and help her obtain a settlement for the maximum insurance policy limits.
