Overview:
We represented a 40-year-old woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after her vehicle was struck by a speeding driver who crossed multiple lanes of traffic, forcing her into a concrete barrier.

Injuries:
TBI with ongoing cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments including headaches, memory loss, sleep issues, and vision problems.

Challenges:
Liability was not challenged so this case focused on causation and damages. The client’s previous attorney had dropped the case, doubting there was enough evidence to support a brain injury claim. The statute of limitations was approaching, and objective medical proof of injury had not yet been gathered.

Our Work:
We quickly assembled a powerful case by gathering her medical records and supporting testimony from family, friends, professors, and colleagues, highlighting the stark changes in our client’s life before and after the crash. We filed suit, arranged updated medical evaluations, obtained MRI imaging showing brain damage, secured neuropsychological testing confirming cognitive deficits, and took impactful trial depositions of key witnesses and treating specialists.

Result:
After aggressively building and presenting the case, we secured a $2,500,000 settlement at mediation, providing our client with financial security and a fresh start after her devastating injuries.
