$52,000 PEDESTRIAN KNOCKDOWN – HERNIATED DISC

Robert M. Brinen successfully negotiated a $52,500 settlement for a 50-year-old male who was struck by a motor vehicle while crossing the street in Nassau County. Plaintiff alleged that the defendant violated the Vehicle and Traffic Laws of the State of New York in failing to yield the right of way and failing to observe the roadway. The client went to the hospital later that day complaining of shoulder pain. Despite his pain, he did not follow up with a private doctor because he thought he would not be covered by insurance because he did not know the identity of the owner or the driver of the car. He came to our office several weeks later, took our advice and consulted with a doctor who examined his shoulder and prescribed an MRI. The client suffered a rotator cuff tear in his shoulders of physical therapy but was unable to have surgery due to his physical condition.
