Our client was lawfully crossing the street in a marked crosswalk when he was struck by a vehicle. The driver initially denied all liability, claiming our client did not have the proper walk signal at the time of the crash.
There was an early dispute over whether the pedestrian signal indicated “Walk” or “Do Not Walk.” Meanwhile, our client suffered catastrophic injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. At the hospital, doctors diagnosed our client with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), a life-altering condition requiring ongoing medical treatment and long-term care.
During our investigation, we located a witness who stated that the driver was driving recklessly before approaching the crosswalk. This testimony proved critical in challenging the insurance company’s denial of liability.
Despite the insurance company’s initial refusal to accept responsibility, we secured a $1,300,000 settlement for our client. While no amount of money can undo the trauma he endured, this substantial compensation helps provide financial stability and ongoing medical care.
