Our client was driving on I-495 South when a car in front of her broke down and brought traffic to a stop. She was at a complete standstill when a tractor-trailer truck rear-ended the car behind her, pushing that car into hers, and subsequently wedging her car underneath the truck in front of her. As a result of the collision, our client sustained a broken collar bone, lacerations to her face, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The insurance company and attorneys for the driver of the tractor-trailer admitted that the truck driver was at fault, but denied that our client was injured as seriously as she claimed. We filed suit against the truck driver and retained multiple expert witnesses to document our client’s injuries. After significant litigation and settlement negotiations, we obtained a settlement of $135,000 prior to trial.
