Secondary Injury After Accident – $115,000

Our client was injured as a result of a rear-end motor vehicle accident in Hesperia, CA. As a result of the accident, our client sustained low back, neck, and shoulder injuries. As a result of our client’s debilitating low back pain from the accident, she suffered a severe back spasm. As a result of this back spasm, our client unfortunately lost her balance, and fell down on the pavement, causing her to fracture her wrist.

Although our client did not fracture her wrist in the accident, we aggressively advocated and argued to the insurance company that her wrist fracture was an intervening causal injury because of her back spams she suffered from the accident. The insurance fought very hard initially and did not accept that our client’s wrist fracture was related to the accident. Therefore, the initial offer presented to our client was only $13,338.00.

Through intense negotiations, our firm was able to persuade the insurance company to accept that our client’s wrist fracture injury was caused by, and related to the car accident, and we were able to secure a settlement of $115,000.00 for our very deserving client.
