Partner Bill Davoren recently arbitrated a case against our client's under-insured motorist carrier and achieved a substantial six-figure award. Our client was walking on a sidewalk when the driver turned into the driveway apron and collided with her body. Our client was pulled up onto the defendant's car's hood and then thrown to the ground, where she sustained fractures to her back and knee.
As a result of the driver's negligence, our client required rehabilitation in a nursing home, physical therapy, and injections. She was left with impairments to her activities of daily living. The defendant aggressively defended the negligent driver, initially even falsely claiming that our client was faking her injury, despite x-rays and other proof of injuries that required immediate hospitalization and medical treatment.
The award achieved on behalf of our client compensated her for her past and future medical treatment, physical therapy, other out-of-pocket expenses, and the significant pain and suffering that was experienced and continues to be endured by our client.
And in another hotly contested personal injury case, Bill Davoren obtained a $300,000 settlement arising from a motor vehicle accident in which the defendant's automobile crossed over a double yellow line and crashed into our client, a 39 year-old mother of two. The accident caused our client substantial injuries to her neck, hip, arm, wrist and hand. The insurance company defending the other driver initially claimed that our client herself had crossed the double yellow line and caused the accident.
The firm's investigation refuted the defendant's claims, proving through witness statements, photographs, and 911 call recordings that the defendant, and not our client, had caused the accident. Upon the presentation of irrefutable evidence undermining the defendant's contentions, his insurance company conceded that our client was not at fault and agreed to pay a settlement that compensated our client for past and future medical treatments and for the pain and suffered caused by the accident. Our client also was able to recover for the expenses she was forced to incur as a result of being unable to care for her children as a result of the injuries she suffered in the accident.
