Accidents

Client was riding his bicycle when a truck’s mirror hit him and caused him to fall over the handlebars and down a ravine. Our client suffered loss of consciousness and brain injuries, as well as numerous painful fractures. The case was heavily litigated in court, but we eventually reached a settlement for the full policy limits very close to trial.

The details of this case are confidential pursuant to the settlement agreement.

Client and her grandmother were driving in the carpool lane at a high rate of speed when a vehicle being operated by a drunk driver suddenly pulled in front of them. The vehicle was destroyed, and our client suffered injuries that required immediate medical treatment.

Client was rear-ended, and the other party hit the trailer hitch of our client’s SUV. The impact was so great that it bent the hitch and broke the seats inside the vehicle. Client suffered numerous injuries, but causation was heavily disputed by the insurance carrier.

An elderly couple was riding in the back seat of their friend’s car when they were struck by an uninsured motorist, which sent the vehicle careening into the center divider. Both individuals suffered multiple fractures and contusions but miraculously made a near-full recovery.

Our client was entering an intersection when another party, traveling approximately 50 miles per hour, ran a red light. Both cars were destroyed and declared total losses. Our client suffered numerous herniated disks, which required surgery to help alleviate his pain.

Client was hit by an inattentive water truck driver, which caused her vehicle to overturn and led to the partial loss of the use of a finger. Liability was disputed from the beginning, but Cohn & Swartzon prevailed.
