Auto Accident Case Settles for $400,000
The Khalidi Law Firm reached a $400,000 settlement for an auto accident in which our client was injured when another driver made a left turn in front of her as she passed through a busy intersection. Both vehicles were totaled when the other vehicle’s front end collided with our client’s front driver’s side. Paramedics extricated our client from her car. She was transported to the hospital for surgery on a fractured ankle. Our client’s medical bills from the auto accident were $87,000.
The other driver’s insurance company denied liability. They took the position that although the medical treatment was reasonable and necessary, the cost of the treatment was not reasonable. We filed a lawsuit and determined that the defendant was impaired while driving from a pre-existing condition or the myriad of prescription medications she was taking. After contested hearings with the Court, we obtained the other driver’s medical and prescription records, which indicated a history of motor vehicle collisions involving either lack of sleep or use of medications.
Our firm demanded $500,000 to settle the auto accident case from the onset. Throughout the litigation, the Defendant’s insurance carrier made offers of $90,000, $140,000, $250,000 and $280,000. Finally, with less than 4 days prior to the start of the trial, the defendant’s insurance carrier agreed to settle the matter for $400,000 to avoid trial. Our client accepted the offer.
