Introduction:

Rear-end collisions can cause significant injuries, especially when children are involved. This case study highlights how our Bronx personal injury lawyers helped a mother injured in a rear-end accident on Soundview Avenue, securing the compensation needed for her recovery and peace of mind for her family.

Background:

Janet O., a 35-year-old Bronx resident, was rear-ended while stopped at a red light with her 6-year-old daughter. Janet suffered whiplash and soft tissue injuries, affecting her ability to work and care for her child.

Initial Challenges:

Janet faced physical pain and financial strain due to missed work. Although the at-fault driver admitted liability, their insurance offered a low settlement that wouldn’t cover her expenses. Realizing the need for legal help, Janet contacted our firm.

Our Legal Approach:

1. Investigating the Accident:

We reviewed police reports and traffic camera footage, confirming the other driver’s fault.

2. Gathering Medical Evidence:

We collected detailed medical records and reports showing the long-term effects of Janet’s injuries.

3. Dealing with the Insurance Company:

The insurer downplayed Janet’s injuries, but we countered with strong evidence proving their severity.

4. Calculating Full Compensation:

We assessed medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering to ensure Janet received the full compensation she deserved.

5. Negotiating a Fair Settlement:

Our strong case led to a higher settlement, covering all expenses and compensating for her pain and suffering.

Outcome:

The settlement relieved Janet’s financial stress, allowing her to focus on recovery. It covered her medical expenses and lost wages, holding the at-fault driver accountable.

This case underscores the need for experienced legal representation after rear-end collisions. Our thorough approach ensured Janet received full compensation. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, contact our Bronx personal injury lawyers for a free consultation.
