Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers successfully secured a $210,000 settlement for a woman injured in a vehicular collision in Russellville. Out of respect to her, we will refer to her as A.
How Did the Russellville Accident Occur?
On a normal day, June 16th of 2024, our client A headed east on the US79 Bypass as she would on any other day. Unfortunately, this drive would be very different for her. At the same time, another vehicle was traveling southbound on Orndorff Road. As the two vehicles approached the intersection of their two road, the southbound vehicle failed to yield to our client. 
A’s vehicle was struck on the front of the driver’s side, giving her the brunt of the force. She had two passengers in her car, both of which suffered varying degrees of injuries. But neither of them experienced the level of pain and suffering that she did.
What Injuries Were Sustained in the Sideswipe Wreck?
Given the nature of where our client’s vehicle was hit, A suffered severe injuries as a result of the accident. She was immediately taken by EMS services to the Medical Center of Bowling Green, but given the severity of her injuries was heli-flighted by the Air Evac Lifeteam to Skyline Medical Center, where she endured a very painful inpatient stay for almost two weeks.
While at Skyline, A was diagnosed with:
- Acute Traumatic Head Injury
- Traumatic Subdural Hematoma
- Sternal Fracture
- Hemoperitoneum
- Right Knee Effusion
- Bilateral Pulmonary Contusion
- Closed Fracture of Lumbar body
During the first three days of her stay, she was forced to remain in the emergency room as there were no rooms available to her upstairs. It was misery for her.
After her release to Southern Kentucky Rehab in Bowling Green, A developed sepsis secondary to pneumonia due to the extensive damage to her lungs. She was transferred once again to Greenview Regional Medical Center where she stayed for 13 days.
At the time of working with our client, A’s medical bills had reached almost $500,000.
How Did the Flora Templeton Stuart Team Help?
When A contacted Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers, our team worked to get information about the accident and her injuries, documenting her numerous medical bills and getting proper records of her pain and suffering. Our team of investigators worked to preserve evidence and get witness statements to help build our case. Our attorneys reviewed the evidence and used it and A’s testimony to help understand the incident and the full extent of how it had impacted A.
From there, the attorneys drafted an extensive demand letter to the insurance company that included details of the collision, the severe injuries that A had sustained, and a comprehensive guide to A’s damages.
After a rigorous fight with the insurance company, the Flora Templeton Stuart team was able to secure our client a settlement of $210,000. This situation was unique in that our team was able to collect on two UIM policies totaling $150,000. UIM is when a driver’s insurance is insufficient in covering your losses. We also collected $50,000 from liability for our injured client.
