Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers successfully secured a $475,000 settlement for a woman injured in a commercial truck accident. For her privacy, we will refer to her as C throughout the rest of the article.
How Did the Bowling Green Accident Occur?
On January 31st of 2024 our client, C, was traveling east crossing over Nashville Road in Bowling Green. She had the green light, but that would not stop what happened next.
At the same time, another vehicle was travelling north on Nashville Road in a semi, and as he approached the light intersecting Nashville Road and Yale Avenue, he did not know whether it was red or green. The result was a collision to the side of C’s vehicle, pushing her into another.
C sustained injuries that will impact her way of life going forward, but luckily, she was wearing her safety belt at the moment of collision or else the injuries could have been even more severe.
What Injuries Were Sustained in the Sideswipe Wreck?
Immediately following the accident, EMS services were called to the scene for C who was reporting pain in her arm and abdomen. She was quickly stabilized and taken to the Emergency Room at Medical Center Bowling Green.
She was diagnosed with a mild diaphyseal fracture in her left arm, fractures to her eighth and ninth ribs on her right side, and general atrophy to her head. For her arm, C sought care at Medical Center Health Orthopedic & Sports Medicine, and it was then that her doctor placed her on a medical leave from work for the rest of the year.
C was transferred to Bowling Green Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for treatment and physical therapy, but she began experiencing even more issues. During rehabilitation, anxiety, confusion, and depression started to manifest in C. Coupled with her injuries, these exacerbations to her cognitive health put C in a position that she may never be fully capable of going to work or caring for herself again.
How Did the Flora Templeton Stuart Team Help?
When Flora Templeton Stuart Accident Injury Lawyers was contacted, we went to work immediately on C’s case. Our team of investigators worked to preserve evidence of the accident and get multiple witness statements to help build our case and establish the innocence of our client. Our attorneys reviewed the evidence and used it and C’s testimony to help understand the full scope of what had happen during and since the terrible accident.
From there, the attorneys drafted an extensive and comprehensive demand letter to the insurance company that included details of the collision, the severe injuries that C had sustained, and a comprehensive guide to C’s damages and medical bills with expert opinions included.
The insurance company did not want to cooperate, but the Flora Templeton Stuart team was able to secure our client a settlement of $465,000 plus the $10,000 in PIP benefits, bringing her total settlement to $475,000. The road to recovery will be long for C, but we hope her settlement will be a helping hand.
