The Law Offices of Kenneth A. Wilhelm recently settled a car accident case for $850,000 out of a $1 million insurance policy. Our client, Mary Polizzi, was a passenger in a vehicle that was rear-ended by another driver. The victim had to undergo surgery for neck and other injuries. We filed a lawsuit on behalf of our client in the Kings County Supreme Court against defendants Quality Provisions, Inc. and Christopher Glancy.
Handling Challenging Cases
This was a complex case for our firm because the plaintiff in this case had injured her neck in accidents on two prior occasions before the incident in question and once afterward. In fact, she was being treated for a neck injury right up until the day before the accident in question. Her previous lawyer was only able to get her a $125,000 settlement offer.
The test in this case for us was to distinguish which of these accidents caused her current neck problems. Not only were we able to prove that the injuries our client suffered were from the incident in question, but we were also able to reduce amounts that she owed for workers’ compensation, saving her $83,378. These types of cases can be challenging to prove, but medical information and testimony can be extremely helpful.
Do Not Rush to a Settlement
As an injured victim it is important that you first talk to your injury attorney before agreeing to a settlement. Once you agree to a first offer or settlement, your case will be closed and you may not be able to receive any further compensation. This is why it is critical that you carefully evaluate the offer you have before you together with an experienced personal injury attorney, who will work diligently to secure the maximum possible compensation.
